Admissions
Now accepting Summer and Fall 2013 applications – rolling admission accepted after the deadlines until all seats are filled. It’s not too late to apply!
The Colorado Film School is glad to help you with your educational goals. To ensure a smooth registration process, please follow the steps below. All applicants regardless of degree start at the Community College of Aurora.
You must, at minimum, be considered college ready in order to qualify for admission into any Colorado Film School program of study. College ready is defined by meeting necessary testing or transfer requirements to be eligible to enter English 121 AND Math 120.
PLEASE NOTE: The CCA Admissions Application may not list the fall term you desire to attend, because the Colorado Film School is requesting fall applications earlier than the main college. Please select the latest term available on the CCA Admissions Application and be sure to designate the correct term on the CFS Supplement.
