Important note
The cost of living rates below are for the 2023-24 academic year (prices are per student, per semester). The 2024-25 cost of living rates will be posted after approval by the Board of Regents in June. Please anticipate a 3-5% increase in the rates below.

The semester cost of living rate is room only, and is placed on the student's tuition and fees account at the Bursar's office prior to the start of each semester. Payment options/due dates can be found on their website. Separate food plans are available for purchase. 

Reminder: Apartment Style living does not close for breaks. The dates below reflect when the semester billing occurs as well as dates new students can move-in and students leaving should terminate by, to avoid additional charges. 

Tuition and fees are just one part of the overall cost to attend CU Boulder. The full cost of attendance for an academic year could include expenses such as on-campus housing and food, books and supplies, and items that are not billed by the university, such as personal expenses, transportation and medical insurance.
