2022-23 Housing

During the 2021-22 academic year, Colorado College has implemented a residential requirement for students who are in their first- and second-year of study at CC. All students whose Colorado College ID numbers start with 20 or 21 are required to live on campus. Transfer students whose IDs start with a 20 or 21 should consult housing to determine their study year based on the number of units transferred from a post secondary institution.

Colorado College is currently assessing its residential requirement for the next academic year. Taking Covid restrictions into consideration, the college will soon announce its decision for a 2-year or 3-year residential requirement for 2022-23 and future years.
