Before the decision phase of the admission process is reached, you must first make sure to submit all pieces of information required for consideration as an applicant. The following are the steps to complete in order to apply for admission.

How to Apply - Freshmen

Submit the on-line application for undergraduate admission or request an application on-line from the Office of Admissions or by calling us at 303.556.2704.  You may also obtain an application at your school's counseling office. 

• Complete the application and return it to the Office of Admissions along with a $50 non-refundable application fee.
• Have your high school send an official transcript of your high school grades, including class rank, to the Office of Admissions. Transcripts must be sent by the issuing school directly to:
