College Transcripts

The college/university you attended must send your official transcripts directly to CMC’s Registrar’s Office for evaluation.

• Send to:

Colorado Mountain College Registrar’s Office
802 Grand Ave
Glenwood Springs, CO 81601

• Send electronically to: registrar@coloradomtn.edu
• Contact the Registrar’s Office for more information at 970-947-8333 or see To Send Transcripts

ACT or SAT scores and Accuplacer Placement Test

Upload your ACT/SAT scores along with your CMC application.

• Scores must be within the last (5) years to be considered.

If you have not taken College Classes or the ACT/SAT, the Accuplacer is an option.
