Determining Your Eligibility and Costs

When the Financial Aid Office determines your eligibility for financial aid, we take into consideration your estimated costs for tuition, fees, books and supplies.  In addition, we also estimate the costs of your living expenses and transportation. 

The following are average costs of attendance for a full-time, in-district student during the 2007-2008 school year (fall & spring).

Please note:  in Colorado the value for all allowable cost of attendance components, except for tuition and fees, is annually determined by the Colorado Department on Higher Education. Individual expenses will vary based on your choice of lifestyle and living arrangements.
