Confirmation Deposit Refunds
Graduating
Your confirmation deposit will be refunded about eight weeks after graduation, less any outstanding charges.
Withdrawal or Leave of Absence
If you withdraw by established deadlines, the confirmation deposit will be applied to any outstanding charges first, which may include a withdrawal fee. The remainder will be refunded to you about 6–8 weeks after your withdrawal. Upon returning to CU, you will need to pay the confirmation deposit again before you can register for classes.
New Students Who Do Not Attend Classes
New, readmitted and transfer students who do not attend classes forfeit the confirmation deposit and are not eligible for a refund.
