Step 4: Authorize COF |
|
For Undergraduate In-State Students Only: Beginning fall 2005, the Colorado State Legislature established a new way to provide state tax dollar support for higher education at the undergraduate level. This method of funding is the College Opportunity Fund (COF), which applies only to undergraduate students paying resident (in-state) tuition. This is not an automatic process. You must complete the following steps or you will be responsible for paying the total in-state tuition, including the portion that would have been covered by the College Opportunity Fund. View the current COF voucher amount (on the tuition tables) to see how much of your tuition will be covered by COF. Also see How COF Applies to You
for important information.
To apply for COF go to https://cofweb.cslp.org/cofapp/. This is a one-time application.
Once you've applied for COF, you’ll be asked to authorize CU access to these funds as you register for courses each semester. If you choose not to authorize COF for that term, the COF stipend will NOT be credited toward your tuition and fees for that term. (NOTE: If you register for courses before you apply for COF, you’ll need to come back to web registration approximately 48-72 hours after you apply and select the COF Authorization tab and follow the instructions in order to have the COF stipend applied to your tuition and fee bill for the term.)
Students can apply for COF and authorize through the end of finals for the current term. HOWEVER, students can only authorize via web registration through certain dates each term (see below).
May 1st |
For spring term |
July 10 |
For summer term |
| December 1st | For fall term |
After these dates students can still authorize through the end of finals but need to come into the Office of the Registrar in Regent 105 to do so. (NOTE: For summer 2008, the last day of Final Exams is August 8)
If a COF eligible student adds a course after the deadlines indicated below, according to CCHE COF policy, the student will pay full tuition for the course, including the amount normally paid by COF, and the course will not be credited to COF hours used.
| September 14 (Fri.), 5:00 p.m | For fall semester 2007 |
| Febrary 1, 2008 (Fri.), 4:30 p.m. | For spring 2008 |
| August 1 (Fri.), 5:00 p.m. | For summer 2008 |
| September 12 (Fri.), 5:00 p.m. | For fall semester 2008 |
Exceptions: COF eligible students who add a course after the dates indicated above will still be eligible for the COF voucher for the added course if one of the following conditions are met. (Note: No exceptions are made for courses added AFTER the last day of classes of the term. For summer 2008, last day of classes is August 8.)
Undergraduate in-state students who will use more than 145 hours towards their first degree may apply for a waiver to this limit. You may not apply for this waiver until you have less than 25 COF hours remaining (life time hours 145, COF hours used greater than or equal to 120). Waivers will not be considered for the following reasons:
Please complete the Waiver Request Form and all supporting documentation and return it to the Office of the Registrar, Regent 105.
