Alumni and friends of the University of Colorado Denver
may purchase CU license plates and drive in style! Alumni
association members may purchase at a significant discount!
Funds raised are used for scholarships for students on the
Anschutz Medical Campus. Follow the instructions to the right
to purchase your plates.
Will one approval certificate cover all the vehicles in my
household?
No. A scholarship donation must be made for
each vehicle getting the plates. For example, if a husband
and wife, both members, wanted plates on both cars they would
owe $50 each ($100 total).
What if I want the plates now but don't need to renew
until later in the year?
If you choose to get the plates in May, but don't renew until
a month later; the cost will be pro-rated for the remaining
amount.
How do I apply for personalized plates?
Request the "Special License Plate Application"
from the Alumni Office by checking the box on the enclosed
application. Upon completion submit the application and approval
certificate to the Colorado Department of Revenue (complete
instructions appear on the approval certificate). Approval
and manufacture of personalized plates can take up to three
months. Ralphie will not appear on personalized plates.
How much do the plates cost?
$50 or $100 mandatory payment to the CU Foundation, plus a
one-time $25 fee to the county clerk, plus your regular registration
fee. A voluntary annual scholarship donation -- $50 for members,
$100 for non-members -- is encouraged after the initial payment.
Thank you in advance for your support of student scholarships!
Please contact our office
is you have any questions. GO CU!
Step #1
Complete the application and send it with your check to the
address printed on the application. The minimum scholarship
donation for alumni association dues-paying members is $50
or $100 for non-members. Non-members may join the Association
and therefore be eligible for the $50 rate. Please call the
Alumni Office at (303) 724-2518 or (877) HSC-ALUM if you are
unsure of your membership status.
Step #2
Approximately 2 weeks after receiving your application and
payment the Alumni Office will mail you an "License Plate
Approval Certificate". This will assure to the county
clerk's office that you have made the appropriate scholarship
donation.
Step #3
Once you have received the approval certificate from the Alumni
Office you are eligible to purchase CU plates. Take your approval
certificate and registration to your local county clerk's
office. Non-personalized plates will be issued at that time.
You will pay the county clerk your standard license and registration
fees plus a one-time $25 fee.
