Whether you’re a first-year or a transfer undergraduate student, you can get a jump on Free Application Day by familiarizing yourself with UCCS’ application process. Check out information on the application process for first-year students<\/a> and transfer students<\/a> online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Submit your application between Oct. 19\u201321<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To benefit from the application fee waiver, you’ll need to submit either the first-year or transfer\u00a0UCCS-specific undergraduate application\u00a0or the\u00a0Common App\u00a0between 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 19 and 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 21.

3. Follow the fee waiver instructions within the application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re submitting the Common App, within the UCCS Member Questions section, you’ll see this required prompt: “Do you intend to use one of these school-specific fee waivers?” Choose “Colorado Free Application Day” in the drop-down menu. In the required field asking for your fee waiver code, enter “FreeAppDayCO.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
