How to Calculate Your Cost

Here’s how to calculate the estimated cost of your tuition and fees:

  1. Find your tuition rate in the table above
  2. Add student fee to your tuition rate 
  3. Add  #1 and #2 together 
  4. Multiply #3 total by the number of credits for the course(s)
  5. Add a $25 Administrative Fee (one-time fee per semester)  
  6. Add any lab and/or course fees  

Example: ((tuition rate + student fee) x (# of credits)) + $25 admin fee + (lab/course fee) = cost of course

  • All tuition and fee charges are subject to change by the Aims Community College District Board of Trustees as circumstances may require, without notice.
  • In-District refers to the Aims Community College Tax District 
  • In-District classification for tuition purposes is for students who have been Colorado residents for a minimum of one year (according to tuition classification law) and who live in the Aims tax district. The Aims tax district is most of Weld County, excluding the Mead, Dacono, Erie, Frederick and Firestone areas.
  • Tuition residency classification is guided by Colorado Statute (§23-7-101, et seq.). Students must be physically present in Colorado for 365 days and have ties to the state (e.g., Driver's license, voter registration, etc).
