OFFICE OF FINANCIAL SERVICES
TUITION AND FEES
Tuition and Fee rates and posted payments are online
at http://www.colostate-pueblo.edu. Click
TWOLF Student Portal to view billing formation. Tuition
rates are established by the Board of Governors of the
Colorado State University System following budget
action of the Colorado General Assembly. The Board
of Governors normally acts on tuition and fee charges
at its June meeting prior to the start of the academic
year. There may be other fees associated with certain
classes offered at the University. All fees and charges
are subject to change.
Payment plans are available. Students will be
assessed a monthly 1.5% extended payment charge
on any outstanding balance. Bills are not mailed, so
students must review their bill on-line by accessing
their PAWS account.
COLLEGE OPPORTUNITY FUND
The College Opportunity Fund (COF) was created by
an ACT of the 2004 Colorado State Legislature to
provide state tax dollar financial support to eligible
Colorado resident undergraduate students. The state
will no longer appropriate money to institutions for
undergraduate education, but will provide direct
funding to the institution on behalf of the student.
Students are required to submit a one-time application
available at https://cofweb.cslp.org/cofapp.
PARKING
Parking decals may be obtained at the Cashier’s
Window in the Administration Building.
DELINQUENT STUDENT ACCOUNTS
Students are subject to any or all of the following
actions if they have a delinquent debt to the University:
• Administratively withdrawn
• Transcripts held
• Degree not conferred
• No future course registrations allowed
• Turned over to a collection agency
Reasonable collection/legal costs will be added to the
amount due. Any student who pays with a check that is
returned unpaid by his/her bank will be subject to all of
the penalties for late payment and also will be charged
an additional $25 fee.
TUITION APPEALS
The Tuition Appeals Committee will consider requests
for adjustment to tuition and fee charges when a
student can document extenuating circumstances.
Appeals must be made no later than thirty (30) days
past the end of the semester in question. Appeal forms
can be obtained by contacting the Office of Business
Financial Services.
No adjustment/refunds of tuition and fees will be
made to a student who is suspended, dismissed or
expelled for a breach of discipline.
FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid is a resource for students and parents
seeking monetary assistance to help defray the costs
of higher education. Eligible students who demonstrate
financial need may receive assistance from the federal
government and/or the State of Colorado in the form of
grants, loans, work-study and/or scholarship funds.
Students may obtain applications and other necessary
forms from Student Financial Services, Administration
Building, Room 212, telephone (719) 549-2753.
Students may obtain further financial aid information
by logging onto http://www.colostate-pueblo.edu/sfs.
The primary responsibility for educational costs resides
with the student and the student’s family. Assistance
offered through Student Financial Services is
intended to supplement the family contribution. Funds
are awarded on a first-come, first-served, need basis.
Financial Aid Application Steps
1) To be considered for financial aid, students must
be accepted for admission in a degree program.
2) Complete a Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) by March 1. Students may apply
online by logging onto http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.
The CSU-Pueblo school identification code is:
001365
3) Once the FAFSA has been processed, students
will receive a Federal Student Aid Report, which
will be electronically submitted to all the schools
listed on the FAFSA.
4) Students whose data has been selected for
verification will be required to submit a verification
form, a copy of the tax return(s), and any
other requested documents used to complete the
FAFSA prior to being awarded.
