Fees and Other Costs
- Background Check Fee: for new students.
- Matriculation Fee: for first-time students at the University of Colorado; covers expenses associated with the provision of records-related services for the lifetime of each student.
- Technology Fee: charged per credit hour each semester.
- Rotation Fee: charged per advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) rotation, in addition to five credit hours of tuition.
- Credit-by-Challenge Fee: charged per credit-by-challenge portfolio.
Other Costs: Textbook requirements are determined by individual instructors, but are limited, since much of the required instructional material will be provided online. Important Notes
PLEASE NOTE: 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 Office of the Registrar and selecting “Student Web Portals” from the link below “How Can I…”
Tuition payments should be submitted directly to the Bursar’s Office.
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 University of Colorado department. Please note the 30-day limit on your calendar. Tuition is considered due despite address mix-ups, delayed mailings across Canada-U.S. 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 anytime. 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. Refunds
Refunds: 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.
