Anne Squires earlier:

Dean's wand was "relieved" by the Snatchers.  I am, of course, purely
speculating here; but, I think Colin (and Dennis) were on the run much
like Dean was.  Or hiding out somewhere a la Anne Frank. (snip)

Kimbrough:

I'm using an audiobook so I can't give you an exact page number, however Colin Creevey was definitely at school before the first battle at Hogwarts.  In Chapter 31 The Battle of Hogwarts, when McGonnagall is evacuating the school all the Slytherins leave, some of the older Ravenclaws stay, more Hufflepuffs stay and over half of the Gryffindors remain at their table.  So, McGonnagall had to go to them to make the under aged kids leave.  She said, "Absolutely not! Creevey Go! And you Peaks!"  I suppose he could have shown up if the DA called him, but he is so under aged I can't really think of how he would have gotten to Hogsmeade in order to sneak into the castle.  It seems more logical to me that he would have been there already.
