Minimum Academic Preparation Standards (MAPS) Minimum Academic Preparation Standards (MAPS) outline courses that students must successfully complete in high school in order to become a strong candidate for admission to the University of Colorado. MAPS credits satisfy the minimum academic standard and also prepare students for college-level courses. Students who have not completed all of the MAPS must still complete them before attaining a college degree. Each CU campus has undergraduate colleges and schools that require specific MAPS for admission.
