zanooda:

If you believe JKR's interviews (because not everyone does :-)), she
said that Colin was not attending Hogwarts. She answered this question
 in the Web Chat last July. Her exact words were: "Colin wasn't a
student. He sneaked back with the rest of the DA, along with Fred,
George and the rest. He ought not to have stayed behind when
McGonagall told him to leave, but alas - he did".
