ADMISSIONS
REQUIREMENTS FOR FOUR YEAR COLLEGES/UNIVERSITIES
While these vary
from institution to institution, Colorado does have a Colorado Commission on
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.
