[8][9] For over 40 years, CCU held classes on the 53-acre site, which the university shared with Christian radio station KWBI (later purchased by K-Love).

Each unit includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room, full sized kitchen, and washer and dryers.

[17] It is located at the center of CCU's campus and has 55,000 square feet of space, including food services, offices, and a gym.

The facility will serve as the backbone of the academic quad; it will house the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics, the Clifton Fowler Library, and the university's first dedicated chapel space; and allow the School of Music to return to the heart of campus.

The college of adult and graduate studies offers undergraduate degree completion, educator licensing, and certificate programs for working professionals.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the school has an open enrollment admissions policy;[25] however, applicants are required to present a "strong spiritual recommendation" from a pastor, youth pastor, or "spiritual mentor", which can speak to their "Christian testimony and growth".

[27] All traditional undergraduate students are required to sign a "Lifestyle Covenant" to attend Colorado Christian University.

This agreement also expresses our commitment to providing an atmosphere for study, personal exploration, involvement in interpersonal relationships, spiritual life, and growth that is conducive to students achieving goals, while enjoying living and learning in community".

Additionally, students under the lifestyle covenant are expected to remain in compliance with federal, state, and local laws.

[30] In order to graduate from the traditional undergraduate college, every student must complete an average of 45 ministry hours per year for a total of 180 hours of service through a local or international ministry, non-profit organization or business during his or her college career.

Over the past twenty years, CCU has sent over 270 short-term missionary teams to more than 60 countries around the world and throughout the United States.

The CCU Cougars participate in both NCAA Division II and NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association).

They went on to participate in the NCCAA (Division I) tournament in Kissimmee, Florida, where they won 1–0 against Oklahoma Baptist University.
