ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

At UC Denver, freshmen may apply up to one year before their intended term of enrollment. In order to secure housing, meet important financial aid and scholarship deadlines, and have the best course availability, we encourage early application. Most students apply during fall of their senior year of high school.

We practice "rolling admission" and after your application is complete, we can usually notify you of your admission status in no more than two to three weeks. Applications reviewed through an admissions committee process or those where additional information is requested may take more time.
