Admissions
How can I find out about in-state tuition status, and what I have to do to apply?
In-state status requires domicile (legal, primary residence) in Colorado for the year immediately preceding the first day of classes. If you want to establish residency and your parents are not Colorado residents, you must be a qualified person to begin the one-year domiciliary period. A qualified person is someone who is either at least 22 years old, married, emancipated, or a graduate student. To learn more about petitioning to be considered an in-state student visit the Office of the Registrar's website.
Do my grades from another institution transfer, or just my credits?
When you begin work at CU-Boulder, only your course credits, not your grades, transfer to your CU record. However, all of your grades are used in the admission decision process. Learn more about transferring to CU-Boulder.
