Celebrate Virtual Decision Day on May 1!
 

This year in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re celebrating Virtual Decision Day on Friday, May 1, and extending Decision Day to Decision Season as our colleges and universities extend their deadlines for applications and enrollment. That means juniors and seniors can use My Colorado Journey all month long to complete their Decision Day Outcomes, Goals and Steps.

Decision Season celebrates our seniors’ hard work over the course of the school year and recognizes their achievements and future goals. As in years past, we encourage students, staff and community members to wear gear from their favorite school, alma mater or future program on Virtual Decision Day on May 1.
