Colorado College has always evaluated candidates for admission on an individual basis. In recent years we have been asked about our policies regarding home schooling, narrative transcripts, portfolio assessment, and other non-traditional approaches to a standard high school transcript. Students presenting non-traditional transcripts are still a very small percentage of our applicant pool, but they are not disadvantaged in the admission process. Since Colorado College does not require an official high school diploma or GED for admission consideration, we have had students apply after three years of high school and we have had students with some combination of high school record and other kinds of assessments. More recently, applicants have included home-schooled students and those enrolled in alternative school programs.
