Individualized Instruction Tuition Rates

Individualized Instruction tuition is determined by your residency and assessed in addition to any tuition paid on campus.

In fall and spring, nonresident students will be charged the in-state tuition rate for Individualized Instruction courses when they also pay the full CU Boulder out-of-state flat tuition rate on main campus. This in-state tuition exception for nonresident students does not apply in summer.

CE Tuition Policy and Billing

You will be billed for your Continuing Education registration. Bills are available through Buff Portal.

A 1% finance charge is added to an unpaid balance after the tuition due date, and a financial stop is placed on your student record. All tuition and refund determinations are subject to audit.

Current CU Boulder Students:

CE Evening Credit, CE Online Credit, Applied Music and Individualized Instruction tuition is charged in addition to Boulder main campus when enrolled in both programs concurrently.
The College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend cannot be applied.
During the summer semester students are charged tuition for Summer Session courses separately from Continuing Education courses.

Non-Degree Students:

CE Evening Credit, CE Online Credit, and Applied Music tuition is charged in addition to ACCESS rates when enrolled in both programs concurrently.

To learn more about the tuition flat rate for 6+ credits, visit our Tuition and Fees section.

Residency

Tuition classification is based on your residency: Colorado resident or non-resident. If you have lived in Colorado for the past 12 months, you may be eligible for in-state tuition rates. You can find more detailed residency guidelines and exceptions on the Office of the Registrar’s website. The university is not free to make exceptions to the rules except as specifically permitted by state law.
