Colorado Free Application Day

What is Colorado Free Application Day?

The Colorado Department of Higher Education is teaming up with colleges and universities across Colorado to waive college application fees for all Colorado students October 17th-19th, 2023. That means if you submit your application in that time frame, you can apply for free to any public institution in Colorado and many private institutions as well.

How do I know if I qualify?

All Colorado residents — freshmen, transfers and second bachelor’s candidates — qualify for Colorado Free Application Day. (We’re including Colorado undocumented students as well.)

The free application is available October 17th - 19th, 2023. You must submit your online application that day to receive the waiver.

How does it work?

To take advantage of this opportunity, we recommend having all admissions application materials prepared and double-checked before October 20th.  As long as you submit your online application on October 17th, 18th, or 19th, your support documents can be submitted anytime before or after.

Here are the codes for the Colleges and Universities.
