Today, Tuesday October 13, is Colorado Free Application Day. All 32 public colleges and universities in Colorado, along with several private institutions, will waive application fees — today only — for the third Colorado Free Application Day.
All residents of Colorado applying for undergraduate programs at participating Colorado colleges and universities are eligible to submit their admission application for free. This includes undergraduate level certificates, associate degrees and bachelor degrees. First-time freshmen, transfer students, returning students and applicants seeking a second bachelor degree are eligible to apply for free.
Last year, Colorado colleges and universities received nearly 44,500 admissions applications on Colorado Free Application Day. Thanks to your support, we hope to go even higher this year. Here’s what students need to know to participate:
When is Colorado Free Application Day?
Colorado Free Application Day takes place today, Tuesday, October 13, 2020 only. All public and some private institutions will waive application fees from midnight to 11:59pm.
How does it work?
Students must submit a completed admissions application today, October 13, 2020. Any admissions applications that have been started but not submitted may not be granted a waiver. Any other admission documents that are not part of the actual admission application that institutions may require (for example, high school transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc.) can be submitted before or after October 13.
Each institution will have a unique process to waive the admissions application submission fee. Visit the Colorado Free Application Day webpage to find specific information by institution. Use this weekend to get your applications so you are ready when Tuesday rolls around.
Who should I contact if I have questions or technical difficulties?
If you encounter any technical problems when submitting your admissions application, please contact the Admissions Office of your school of choice. Their contact information will be listed on their website, which you can find on our Colorado Free Application Day webpage.
