2025 Colorado Supplemental Application (CSA)

    Thank you for your interest in Colorado State University's DVM program!
    If you have questions throughout the admissions process, please contact DVM Admissions at dvmadmissions@colostate.edu.

    The 2025 Colorado Supplemental Application (CSA) will open mid-June.

    It is *critical* to create only *one* account per person.

    It is strongly recommended the following information is the same on both the Colorado Supplemental Application and the VMCAS Application:
    • NAME (FIRST, MIDDLE, LAST)
    • DATE OF BIRTH
    • EMAIL ADDRESS
    DEADLINE
    • Application deadline: September 16, 2024 at 11:59pm ET (9:59pm MT)
    • Application fee: Allow at least 30 minutes to complete the online payment of the $80 application fee to ensure you meet the application deadline. Note: the application fee is non-refundable.

    REQUIRED APPLICATION MATERIALS  *All materials must be submitted by September 16, 2024 at 11:59pm ET (9:59pm MT)

    1.  VMCAS Application + Fee

    • All prerequisite courses - including in-progress courses - must be included in the VMCAS application at submission. Courses must be matched to prerequisites in the VMCAS application. This includes completed, in-progress, and future courses you plan to take. If a course is not matched to a prerequisite in an application, it will be assumed you have not and do not intend to take the required prerequisite and your application will not be further reviewed.
    • 3 letters of recommendation (with at least one from a veterinarian)
    • Your VMCAS application status must be "VERIFIED" to move forward in our application review. Regardless of the reason, unverified applications will not be reviewed.

    2.  Colorado Supplemental Application (CSA) + Fee

    • Access and submit the application AND pay the nonrefundable supplemental application fee

    Once the VMCAS and CSA are submitted, you cannot modify your application. Please do not send application materials or transcripts outside the application; only what is included in your application will be reviewed.

    TRACKING RECEIPT OF APPLICATION MATERIALS
    You must submit your application to view your "Application Status" page. Your Application Status page will show all activity associated with your CSA, including receipt of application materials.
