repayment, whereas loans must be repaid.

takes about eight to 10 weeks to process
your request. Although the application for
financial aid may be submitted throughout
the year, priority dates have been established
to assure the availability of funding.
Financial aid applications must be complete
and correct by priority date. For complete
financial aid information see the Financial
Aid Handbook or contact the Financial Aid

Financial Obligations
of Students
Payments for tuition, fees and materials are
due on the specified date published in the
schedule or at the time the obligations are
incurred. You are not officially registered
until tuition and fees are paid. If you are in
any way financially obligated to the college
or have failed to account for college property
in your possession, you may be denied a
transcriptand registrationfor subsequent
semesters until you have made a satisfactory
arrangement with the college.
Nonresident Students
For tuition purposes, Colorado law determines
whether a student is classified as instate
(resident) or out-of-state (nonresident),
based on information supplied on the
Application for Admission.
To change from nonresident to resident status,
obtain a petition form for in-state status
from Admissions. A copy of the regulations
governing residency classification is a part
of the petition. Deadlines for submission of
the petition are published each semester.
Petitions received after the deadline will not
be considered until the following semester.
Changes in classification become effective
at the time of your next registration.The
final decision regarding tuition status is
determined by the director of Enrollment
Services.
Senior Citizen Tuition
In-state students over the age of 60 may be
eligible for a one-half-tuition grant.
Complete the Senior Citizens Grant
Program form available in the Financial Aid
Office. You must pay full fees. The
Financial Aid Office must be notified when
a class is added or dropped.
