Payment Plans
You may be eligible to pay your tuition and fees in installments over the course of the current semester. Optional payment plans are available for students or their authorized payers. Re-enrollment is required each semester you choose to participate.
A payment plan is a good option for students who can allow debits from one bank account or credit card to occur on a consistent basis. Payments must be made via automatic deduction (ACH) from a regular United States checking or savings account or credit/debit card. This option is not a good fit if payments will be made from multiple sources because automatic deductions/debits must come from only one bank account or credit card.
CU Boulder accepts American Express, MasterCard, Visa and DISCOVER. Automatic deductions are processed on the 5th of the month. When the 5th falls on a weekend, payments are processed the following business day. Dates and plan terms may be subject to change without notice.
Financial Aid
Non-degree (including certificate) students are not eligible for federal financial aid.
