What are the transfer requirements for Colorado College?

I'm considering transferring to Colorado College and I'm trying to figure out their specific transfer requirements. Does anyone know what's needed in the application? I'd appreciate any insights or tips from people who've gone through the process!

Colorado College has a detailed process for transfer students and they review each application holistically. Here's a brief rundown of what's required:

1. Common Application: Colorado College uses the Common Application for transfer students. You'll need to fill out the general form plus the Colorado College supplement.

2. College Report: This form must be filled out by the dean of students or an academic official at your current institution. It asks questions about your academic and disciplinary standing.

3. Official Transcripts: You will need to provide official transcripts from every post-secondary institution you’ve attended.

4. Final High School Transcripts: Those are also required, even if you've already earned college credits.

5. Professor Recommendation: You are required to provide one recommendation from a college professor who has instructed you in a class.

6. SAT or ACT Scores: As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, Colorado College has gone test-optional, which means you have the choice whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores. If you believe your scores represent your abilities well, you should submit them.

7. Mid-Term Report: If are currently enrolled in college courses, you should submit a Mid-Term Report with your current course grades.

As for insights or tips for applying to Colorado College as a transfer student, make sure that you communicate your interest in their unique block plan academic system. This is a unique feature of Colorado College, where students take just one course at a time for three and a half weeks, so it can be helpful to highlight why that approach is a good fit for you.
