Tuition, Fees, and Refund Policy

Once you have registered for classes, your bill for tuition and fees will be generated through the on-campus Bursar's Office. Tuition is $454 per credit hour for residents of Colorado and $499 per credit hour for out-of-state students for the 2008-2009 academic year.

There are several fees, in US dollars:

• $65 technology fee per online course each semester
• $75 academic support services fee, which supports online library resources, online instruction, and the online student information and records system. The academic support services fee is charged once per semester, regardless of the number of classes for which you are registered.
• $65 fee for a background check for new students (one time occurance)
• $140 matriculation fee for first time students at the University of Colorado. This fee covers expenses associated with the provision of records-related services for the lifetime of each student.

You will not receive a paper bill for tuition and fees. You must check your account balance online in the Web Registration System. You can view your account statement by logging on to “Web Registration & Records” at: http://www.uchsc.edu/registrar/ and selecting “Finances” and “Extended Studies – Account Balance.”

Tuition payments should be submitted directly to the Bursar. All tuition and fees are due within 30 days of the first day of class. The University of Colorado assesses a 1% per month service penalty on any unpaid account balance. Service charges will not be applied to accounts with whom the Bursar's Office has a contractual agreement, such as active military, or for accounts supported by payments from a UCD department. Please note the 30-day limit on your calendar. Tuition is considered due despite address mix-ups, delayed mailings across Canadian-US border, or other mailing difficulties.

Please note that you will not be able to register for subsequent semesters unless your bill from previous semesters has been paid in full. You can check your balance online any time.

Once your payment is received and processed, an official statement of payment will be available online for use with taxes or for employee reimbursement programs.

If you drop a class within the guidelines specified below, an adjusted bill for tuition will be calculated and updated online. Any refunds due will be processed automatically by the Bursar's office. Note that University policies require a substantial financial penalty if you drop any of your enrolled courses after the drop/add date.

Withdrawal from courses after the drop/add date is addressed by the NTPD withdrawal policy. In some situations, such as medical emergencies and bereavement, courses may be retaken without repayment of full tuition. A retake fee applies. Please consult the NTPD office.
