If you are formally admitted into a University of Colorado at Boulder degree program, and you have completed at least one semester of classes on the Boulder campus, you are a degree student. If you are eligible for financial aid on the Boulder campus, you will retain your eligibility for financial aid while enrolled through CE; however, your financial aid budget will be adjusted to reflect CE tuition and fees, which may impact the amount of aid you can receive.

Note that courses through CE must be for credit and termed based courses through Boulder Evening, applied music, individualized instruction, or CAETE (Center for Advanced Engineering and Technology Education). At this time, self-paced online and correspondence courses are not funded by financial aid.

If all your classes are through CE, then your financial aid will be credited to your CE bill. If your financial aid is in excess of your bill, you will receive a refund from CE. Refund checks may be requested in person at Continuing Education accouting office or by calling accounting at 303-492-2212.

CE requires that you pay your bill at the time you register for classes. However, if you have been awarded financial aid sufficient to cover your CE bill (and Boulder campus bill, if applicable); you may qualify for a tuition deferment. A tuition deferment allows you to defer your CE bill until your financial aid becomes available. If you are enrolled through both the Boulder main campus and CE, contact the Office of Financial Aid at (303) 492-5091 and speak with a financial aid counselor. It you are enrolled only through CE, contact the Continuing Education Financial Aid Counselor at (303) 492-8146.
