How to Get In-State Tuition
To be considered for in-state tuition, you can complete the Residency Qualification for High School Rule form if you:
- Have attended a public or private high school in Colorado for at least a year immediately before graduating high school or obtaining a GED.
- Have been physically present for the 12 months immediately prior to the start of the semester.
Complete the Residency Qualification for High School Rule form no later than 30 days after the start of your earliest course. If you miss the deadline, you will need to submit a Petition For Residency form.
When completing the online form, be ready to upload a copy of:
- Your final high school transcript that shows your graduation date, or your High School equivalency (GED/HiSET/TASC) certificate or scores.
- We may also follow-up and ask for proof that you've been in Colorado, if it's been more than a year since you graduated or obtained your GED.
