Emily Griffith Technical College is the public, postsecondary and adult education arm of the Denver Public School system and is one of three area technical colleges in the Colorado Community College System.

Compared to other institutions, our admissions process is unique. 

Don’t wait to apply! Registration can open up several months before programs begin and some programs fill up quickly after registration opens. Because of this, it’s important to complete the admissions process as soon as you are ready.
