Step 3) Application and Forms

The interactive application is the university’s preferred method of receiving application materials. It provides comprehensive information and is easy to use.

Interactive Application
Apply Online
Using our interactive application, you can:
  • Complete the graduate application for all departments within the Graduate School. (See the School of Law and the MBA program offered through the Leeds School of Business for their program application information).
  • Request that your recommenders submit letters of recommendation electronically (they may also mail recommendations directly to the department if they prefer).
  • Pay the application fee electronically by credit card (American Express, MasterCard, or Visa). Payment by check or money order is also available with the online application.  
  • This application is part of the ApplyYourself Application Network. Upon creating your account, you will receive a PIN and Password so that you can return to work on your application over several sessions. Your information is transmitted through a secured server and is kept confidential until you submit your application. Only after you submit your application will it be available for review by the University of Colorado at Boulder.
  • If you are applying to more than one program, you need to create a separate account and submit an application and fee for each program.

If you are unable to use the interactive application, you must contact your department to request paper application materials.

Departments will not consider applications for admission until all application materials, including letters of recommendation, transcripts, and the $50 application fee have been received by the department.
