Office of Financial Services
WITHDRAWAL POLICY
Students who withdraw during the drop/add period will
receive a 100% tuition refund and be responsible for
repaying all of their financial funds back to the
University.
Students who totally withdraw from CSU-Pueblo after
the drop/add period through 60% of the semester will
have their tuition prorated (view tuition refund policy
on-line at (http://www.colostate-pueblo.edu/SFS/
TuitionFees). A federal formula will be used to
determine the amount of financial aid that has been
earned by the student, which will be calculated for
students who withdraw within 60% of the semester. If
the student received less assistance than the amount
earned, the student may be able to receive those
funds. If the student received more assistance than
earned, the excess funds must be returned.
Students who do not complete the official withdrawal
process will potentially receive all failing grades on
their transcript. Students with all failing grades at the
end of each semester will be required to repay their
unearned student aid based on 50% unless they can
prove that they attended class past 60% of the
semester.
FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS
GRANTS
Federal Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant amount is determined by the
Expected Family Contribution (EFC) listed on the
Student Aid Report and whether the student is enrolled
full-time or part-time. Generally, Pell Grants are
awarded only to undergraduate students. In some
cases, students might receive a Pell Grant for
attending a post-baccalaureate teacher certificate
program.
Colorado Student Grant (CSG)
The CSG is awarded to undergraduate residents on
the basis of financial need as determined by the
Colorado Commission on Higher Education. The
amount of the grant cannot be greater than $5,000 per
academic year. Funds are provided by the Colorado
General Assembly.
Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity
Grant (FSEOG)
The FSEOG is designed to assist undergraduate
students with exceptional need, targeted to Federal
Pell Grant recipients and other exceptional need
students. Awards may not exceed $4,000 per year.
Colorado Leveraging Educational Assistance
Partnership (CLEAP)
The CLEAP grant is awarded to undergraduate
resident students on the basis of financial need. The
amount of the grant cannot be greater than $5,000 per
academic year. The CLEAP consists of one-half state
and one-half federal funds.
WORK-STUDY
College Work-Study Program (CWSP)
The College Work Study Program is designed to
provide jobs to students who could not attend the
University without employment. The program also
provides students with meaningful work experience,
preferably related to their academic major. Students
may use work-study funds to supplement their income
and help meet educational expenses. The program is
funded by both the federal government and the
Colorado General Assembly. The University annually
employs approximately 600 students in the work-study
program.
General Qualifications:
1) Must be enrolled at the University for the next
academic year as a degree-seeking student.
2) Must be making satisfactory academic progress.
3) Must enroll in and maintain six (6) credit hours for
each semester employed.
Colorado Work-Study
The Colorado work-study program is funded by the
Colorado General Assembly. To be eligible, students
must be undergraduate Colorado residents.
Students must complete the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for
work-study. Students are selected for the program if
qualifications are met and if funds are available.
Generally students must demonstrate financial need,
but the University is allowed to award a portion of the
Colorado work-study funds to students who have little
or no financial need.
