Q. What are
your admissions requirements?
Find out about our “modified open”admissions requirements.
Q. How do I apply?
Carefully read all the application instructions, then apply
online. If you would prefer that we mail a packet, you may request
one online.
Q. How do I find
out if I have been accepted?
Please contact the Office of Admissions at 303-556-3058 or askmetro@mscd.edu.
Q. I was accepted
last semester and couldn’t attend - do I need to re-apply?
Your acceptance term is good for three semesters, so you do not
have to re-apply for admission. Example: If you were admitted for
spring 2005, your admission would be good through fall 2005. If
you have not completed your steps to success , be sure to do so, so that you are ready to register for
classes.
Q. I attended Metro
State over a year ago – do I need to re-apply?
We’re pleased you are interested in coming back to Metro State!
Since it has been more than three semesters since you attended,
you will need to re-apply. Example: If you last received a grade
in a course in spring 2004, you are eligible to register for classes
through spring 2005; to register for classes for summer 2005 or
later, you would need to re-apply. You are not required to pay the
$25.00 application fee (as long as you have an academic record).

apply online. To check your application status, contact the
Admissions Office at 303-556-3058 or askmetro@mscd.edu.
Q. Can I attend Metro
State as a Summer Only student?
Applicants 19 years old or younger who have graduated from high
school or have received a General Educational Development (GED)
certificate and are applying for the summer semester, and who do
not wish to continue after the summer semester, may be admitted
under this provisional status. These applicants are not required
to submit admission credentials, but also are not eligible for Financial
Aid. Please check the appropriate box under the Metro State Plans section
on the Application for Admission. Summer Only Students who wish
to continue in the fall or spring semester must meet stated admission
requirements before the semester begins. Click
here to apply online.
If you are a student at another college or university and you intend to transfer Metro State class(es) to your college or university, please check with your college or university to ensure trasferability. We do not have any control over what classes will and will not transfer to other schools.
Q. Do I have to
complete the entire application if I’m taking just one class?
Yes, you need to complete the entire Application for Admission even
if you are only taking one class. Click
here to apply online.
If you do not wish to earn college credit for the class, you may audit it (see below).
Q. How do I audit
a class?
To audit a class you need to complete the Audit Form, available
from one of the dean’s offices in the School of Business (303-556-3245),
the School of Letters Arts and Sciences (303-556-3215), and the
School of Professional Studies (303-556-2978). You do not have to
apply for admission to Metro State to audit a course. Once you submit
the form, you may be placed in the class with the permission of
the instructor and if seating is available. Students who audit classes
are responsible for paying tuition but not the associated fees.
Also, there will be no record of the class(es) taken because no
credit will be awarded.
Q. What undergraduate
degree programs do you offer ?
A complete listing of
our majors, minors, certificates and academic departments is available online. In addition,
you may find out about our on-line
courses and the Individualized
Degree Program.
Q. I would like to
receive information on your graduate programs.
We offer only undergraduate degree programs at Metro State. Research
other Colorado public colleges and universities.
Q. What classes
will transfer to Metro State?
Since you are interested in transferring to Metro State, you are
encouraged to apply
for admission (if you have not already done so). When you apply,
be sure to check “Degree-Seeking” on the application.
You also need to have official transcripts from each college or
university attended sent directly to us:
