Daily Visitation
CC For Yourself!
We strongly encourage prospective students — especially admitted students — to visit our campus, which is conveniently located in the heart of Colorado Springs. Our campus visits begin inside the historic Cutler Hall. During your visit, you'll get insight into the admission process, an inside look into CC culture, and you'll join a campus tour led by a current student.
Pre-registration is required for campus visits, and spots fill quickly.
Hoping to book a group visit? Please get in touch with your regional admission representative or email us at admission@coloradocollege.edu.
Plan Your Trip
Check out directions to campus from local and regional airports, and view our campus map to get acquainted before you arrive.
Several spaces have been set aside for Admission visitors, but otherwise parking is limited. You may park in the Admission spots, which are located directly in front of Montgomery Hall or directly in front of Boettcher Health Center (the round building). All spaces are marked "Reserved for Admission Visitors." You may also park in any designated visitor space on campus.
Please print the parking pass that accompanies your confirmation email and place it on your dash. Or, when you check in at the Admission Office, we will provide a daily parking pass. Limited street parking is also available; some spaces are metered, so please check as you park. Feel free to take a look at our Visitor Parking Map.
