In-State Tuition Petition Instructions and Deadlines

Petitions will be accepted beginning in March for the following fall and summer terms and in October for spring terms. Because a great many petitions are submitted on or shortly before the deadlines listed below (Priority Decision Deadline and Due Date), you should anticipate significant delays if you submit your petition at those times. Beginning with the First Submission Date (see below), the earlier you submit your petition, the earlier you will be notified. Don’t delay! Don’t be disappointed!! Do it sooner rather than later!!!

You will be notified of the result of your petition by email. Changes to tuition classification will also be reflected on CUConnect. Please allow up to six weeks for notification.

STATE AUDIT STANDARDS REQUIRE RENTENTION OF ALL DOCUMENTS RECEIVED AS A RECORD OF THE BASIS OF DECISIONS. YOUR PETITION AND DOCUMENTS ARE STORED UNDER STRICT STANDARDS OF SECURITY. HOWEVER, SOME PETITIONERS MAY WISH TO REDACT CERTAIN PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION, SUCH AS SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS AND BANK ACCOUNT NUMBERS. YOU MAY REDACT ALL BUT THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF SUCH NUMBERS PRIOR TO SUBMITTING YOUR PETITION.

PLEASE INCLUDE ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTS. Failure to do so will substantially delay a decision and your petition may be rejected if deficiencies are not corrected. Please consult a tuition classification adviser in Regent Administrative Center 105, (telephone (303) 492-0907, email tuitclass@registrar.colorado.edu) if you have problems obtaining required documents. Documentation you submit must be retained as a record of the basis of action on petitions and cannot be returned to you. You should make a copy of the entire petition, including all documentation, for your records. DO NOT FAIL TO MAKE A COPY OF EVERYTHING YOU SUBMIT!

Financial Aid recipients should submit petitions by the Priority Decision Date to allow adequate time for reprocessing of awards. In most cases, Financial Aid awards will change if your tuition classification changes. You should consult a counselor in the Office of Financial Aid to ensure your understanding of the adjustments and any new obligations you may have incurred as a result of receiving in-state status.
