Summer Session

Financial Aid

Students are required to complete two applications for summer financial aid:

  • Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) 2008–09
  • 2009 Summer Financial Aid Application

Application and Eligibility
CU-Boulder degree students can apply for summer financial aid on CUConnect at cuconnect.colorado.edu in the Financial tab. Summer financial aid applications will be accepted only if information from your 2008–09 FAFSA has been received by the Office of Financial Aid.

If you are taking summer classes that will not transfer into a CU-Boulder degree program, you are considered a visiting student and are not eligible for financial aid.

CU-Boulder degree students attending a CU-Boulder study abroad program are required to complete a manual application available at www.colorado.edu/finaid in the “forms” section, or at the Office of Financial Aid.

If you are taking summer classes that will not transfer into a CU-Boulder degree program, you are considered a visiting student and are not eligible for financial aid.

Students receiving summer financial aid are subject to Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements. If you fail to meet the SAP requirements for spring 2009 term, you will lose your eligibility (pending appeal) for summer aid, including aid that you received for Maymester. (See the Satisfactory Academic Progress fact sheet, available at www.colorado.edu/finaid/sap.html or from the Office of Financial Aid.)
