ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS FOR FOUR YEAR COLLEGES/UNIVERSITIES
High Education that has established an Admissions Index. This index can be found on the following pages. The index scores is achieved by cross referencing the student’s grade point average (GPA) and their ACT or SAT scores. This index applies only to Colorado Public Schools and for Colorado High School graduates. Students who meet the index and have the required high school classes, will have a strong possibility of admission into their selected Colorado school.

COLORADO COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION MINIMUM ACADEMIC STANDARDS
In the fall of 2003, the Colorado Commission on higher education passed a law that would require MAPS for all colleges in Colorado. These are:
Effective with applicants who graduate from high school in spring 2008 and in 2009, in-state and out-of-state freshmen must meet both the institution’s index standard and have completed the required precollegiate curriculum (if applicable) to meet CCHE’s freshmen admission standard. Freshmen who have not completed the required precollegiate curriculum will not meet the CCHE admission standard for any four-year college or university (except students age 20 or older at Metropolitan State College of Denver), regardless of the student’s index score. The 15 units, based on research by American College Testing (ACT), identify secondary course-taking that significantly enhances students’ academic success in postsecondary education.
