Participation in the University Honors Program involves a separate application process and should be done AFTER you apply for admission to Colorado State University. Applications to the Honors Program will not be reviewed until you have been admitted to CSU. Applications for undergraduate admission to Colorado State University can be found at www.admissions.colostate.edu or by contacting the Office of Admissions at (970) 491-6909. High school students are highly encouraged to apply to the University during the fall semester of their senior year.

The deadline for applying to the University Honors Program for fall 2012 has passed. Applications for fall 2013 should be online around mid October 2012.

Application Overview
The Honors Program application consists of the online application form with a personal statement and a recommendation from a high school teacher. A current email address for the person providing the recommendation is part of the application.

Applications will not be reviewed until you've been admitted to Colorado State University AND a complete application (including personal statement and teacher recommendation) has been received by the Honors office. The on-line application can be accessed below.

Teacher Recommendation A teacher who has been directly involved in your education must submit a recommendation on your behalf. You must provide an email address for your recommender in your application. Honors will contact your reference with instructions about how to submit the recommendation. You will receive an email from us when the teacher recommendation has been sent.

Honors Program Application Priority Date
The Honors application deadline was March 1st. When both components of the application have been received, your application will be reviewed. In some cases, we may ask for additional information before making a final decision. Since the March 1 priority deadline has passed, students will be accepted only if space is available.

Honors Program Admissions Decisions Offers of admission to the Honors Program are conditional upon high school graduation and satisfactory completion of, and performance in, senior year course work. Automatic admission will continue to be granted to selected exceptional students who have a demonstrated record of outstanding accomplishment in high school, including National Merit Finalists, Boettcher Finalists, Monfort Scholars, National Hispanic Scholars, and National Achievement Scholars.
