How to Apply & Enroll

The process has been simplified.  It is now just four steps, and one form!

1. Apply for Admission to PPCC.

The entire admissions process at Pikes Peak Community College begins with the Application for Admission.  You'll need your parent's driver's license and your own social security number to complete this step.  There is no charge on the application fee and the application process is easy.  Please, make sure you use parent information when answering the residency questions at the end of the admissions application. 

And while you're applying for admission to the college be sure to apply for COF (the College Opportunity Fund).  The College Opportunity Fund, or "stipend", is money set aside by the state to invest in your education. This will give you the lowest tuition rate possible if you are an in-state resident.  If you missed this step while going through the application for admission process, just  Click Here  to apply for COF.

You'll know this step is complete when you have received your Student ID number (we call it your "S" number).

2.  If you are under the age of 17, read and complete the  Under 17 Waiver Form.

Next, if you're under the age of 17 years old, you'll complete an "Under 17 Waiver".  It is a single page form that you'll download from this site, complete the form, sign it (both the student and their parent must sign the form), and then deliver it to the High School Programs office at the Centennial Campus - Room A 220.  It'll take a day or so to process the form.  Once it has been processed, you'll receive a call from Glenn Englund telling you that we have removed the age based holds from your account, and you are free to enroll in classes - once we have recorded your placement test scores - which is the next step below.

3.  Take the ACCUPLACER Placement Test.

The Accuplacer Test is the placement test used by Pikes Peak Community College to determine the appropriate level of placement in college courses.  Note: The placement test can be waived if the student has ACT or SAT scores demonstrating college-level proficiency.  There is no cost the first time you take the Accuplacer test at PPCC.  There is no appointment necessary.

There you go!  You're on your way!

Once you have registered for classes, you can print your schedule, go to the bookstore to buy your books and supplies, attend an Orientation Session (see our High School Programs webpage for times and dates), and show up for class every day.
