Financial Aid

Post-Baccalaureate Health Professions students who meet certain eligibility standards may be able to receive financial aid. Please note that federal financial aid awards for post-baccalaureate students typically cover the cost of in-state tuition but not living expenses. For detailed information on financial aid eligibility and required paperwork, please visit CU Boulder’s Financial Aid website. You may contact our financial aid liaison at cefinaid@colorado.edu for more information.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) typically opens on October 1, for the following school year. (Each "school year" starts in the fall semester.) However, for the 2024-2025 FAFSA, the U.S. Department of Education has announced that the opening date will be delayed until late December 2023. In future years, the opening date will return to October 1. More information is posted on CU Boulder's 2024-25 Financial Aid Application Delay webpage.

Student Fees 

Post-Baccalaureate Health Professions program students are automatically assessed the full package of student fees, which provide access to the RTD bus system, the Student Recreation Center, and other campus services.  You may reference a detailed list of fees on the CU Boulder Bursar’s website. (Using the sidebar, click on a given academic term to review the “Mandatory Undergraduate Fee” details. Post-Baccalaureate Health Professions students are considered full-time students.) The cost of the full student fee package comes close to $900 per semester in the fall and spring, and around $650 in the summer. 

    All nondegree students, including Post-Baccalaureate Health Professions students, have the option to opt out of certain fees that are mandatory for students who have degree-seeking status. If you do not plan to utilize the resources covered by student fees, you may follow the instructions on this page to waive the majority of your fees.  

    If you have questions about student fees, please contact the Continuing Education Bursar’s Office at cebursar@colorado.edu or 303-492-2212 for assistance. 

    Please note that the Board of Regents reserves the right to change the fee rate at any time.
