When to Visit

We welcome visitors year round and have scheduled visitor events on weekdays and on Saturdays in the fall. The best time to visit is when classes are in session, and there are plenty of students around to give you a true feel for the college. The Block Plan creates a schedule totally different from most schools, and the block breaks after each block might not be the best time to visit. The academic calendar lists blocks and block breaks so you can plan a good time to visit. Feel free to call the office (800-542-7214 or 719-389-6344) early in your planning to clarify what options are available. Also, we offer two special Fall Open House events for seniors.

General Visit Guidelines

• Information sessions and campus tours are available for all interested students almost every weekday year round, and on Saturdays in the fall.
• Interviews are available June - January for seniors and June - March for transfer students. Limited off-campus interviews are also available. See our CC Coming to You page for options.
• Class visits are available for juniors, seniors and transfer students, but not on the first day of a Block or in the last half week of a Block. In April and May class visits are reserved for seniors and transfer students. Class visits require a week advance notice.
• Overnights are available for seniors and transfer students, on a limited basis, usually Sunday-Thursday nights. Two weeks advance notice is required.
