Need Help?

If you get stuck, have questions specific to your situation, or would just like one-on-one support, make an appointment with an admissions counselor. They will teach you about resources to help you succeed, including  financial aid, class registration, and showing you how to log in to and use Navigate and myPikesPeak Portal. 

Before you meet with an admissions counselor submit any high school transcripts, college transcripts, or test scores that you have by using the Academic History Form.
