"My favorite part of FOH was the mock class, because that really showed me what a small, intimate class size would be like and the way the professors would interact with me."

Frequently Asked Questions

Our daily campus visits are around two hours long, and consist of a 45-minute information session followed by a 1-hour campus tour. They're a great option most days of the year.

If you're looking for a comprehensive, in-depth visit experience, you should definitely register for Fall Open House. On top of an information session and campus tour, you can also expect to attend a tips on applying session, eat a meal in our dining hall, attend a Block Plan-style class to see if taking one class at a time is right for you, participate in a live Q&A (student panel) with current students, hear from faculty, connect with admission and financial aid staff, and more. It's not guaranteed, but we won't be surprised if you leave with ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø as your top choice school ...

Nope! Just like our admission application, Fall Open House is free. 

Fall Open House is designed with high school seniors in mind. We welcome parents and guests too! Most sessions will be attended by both students and their guests, but we do have some programming designed specifically for parents/guests.

Depending on the year, we host 1-2 Fall Open Houses in September and/or October. This year's Fall Open House will be on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Right now! We typically announce Fall Open House dates in late spring, and registration opens in the summer. Luckily for you, . It'll close four days before the event, or when capacity is reached (whichever comes first).

If you're going to come all this way, you might as well check out the surrounding areas! There's plenty to do in the Springs, whether you're looking for a bite to eat, a trail to hike, or a local business to support. Check out our visitor's guide for a full list of recommendations.

You've got questions and we've got answers! Shoot us an email at admission@coloradocollege.edu. We're excited to chat soon.
