CCHE Higher Education Admission Recommendations for Incoming Freshmen
To help ensure the academic success of college-bound students, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) added a pre-collegiate curriculum requirement to its Admissions Standards Policy in October, 2003. Beginning with the graduating high school class of 2008, freshmen planning to attend Colorado public four-year colleges and universities should complete certain core course recommendations for admission into baccalaureate programs.
