Finalists who rank CC
If you are a Finalist who ranked CC, your National College Match application will be sent to CC, and you will need to submit the following requirements to the school by November 1. If you have questions after reviewing the information below, please reach out to the school directly.
Requirements
Colorado College Application Status Portal Activation
QuestBridge will send Finalists’ applications to Colorado College on October 18, and Colorado College may need a couple days to import them into their system. Once processed, Colorado College will then email you instructions to log in and activate your applicant portal, where you can track the status of the materials you submit to Colorado College.
Requirements will be updated in fall 2024.
This writing supplement gives CC's committee valuable insight on your interest in CC and the Block Plan. For more details, please see the Colorado College information for QuestBridge applicants.
CC accepts transcripts via the QuestBridge application. No additional steps are required.
Colorado College is a test-optional college. Please review CC's test-optional policy to determine your test plan.
Students may indicate their preferred testing policy on the QuestBridge Supplement.
CC allows students to self-report standardized testing on the application and will require official versions be submitted (via testing agency or secondary school) upon commitment to enroll.

Please select any round as your admission application type. The round you choose to apply does not impact CC's matching decision process.
If your parents are divorced or separated:
- Each parent will need to complete their own CSS Profile application. To keep their financial information private, your parents should not share their College Board log-in credentials with each other.
- If you do not have any contact with your noncustodial parent, then you may submit a request to waive the requirement of their financial information. Download the Noncustodial Parent Waiver Petition and submit it to Colorado College via the student’s applicant portal.
Both the custodial and non-custodial parent must submit copies of their 2022 federal tax returns signed, with all schedules, attachments, W-2 forms and other earning statements. Include personal and corporate partnership tax returns. If you e-file your tax return, signatures are not required.
