Tuition & Financial Aid
Financial aid at College Unbound draws upon the combined resources of the student, the federal government, scholarships and the College itself. It is important that students apply for financial aid if they have reason to believe that the cost of attendance (COA) exceeds what they can reasonably be expected to contribute for their time at CU. Financial aid is renewable for a portion of or all undergraduate years, assuming eligibility continues. Students must reapply each year for financial aid by filing a new FAFSA.
Tuition and Fees
Tuition and Fees are based upon credit hours of the student’s coursework for the term (semester) and related fees that may apply.

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Your first step is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), regardless of your financial status. You may file the FAFSA beginning October 1. For the 2024/25 FAFSA, the priority deadline will be July 15. Your FAFSA information determines your eligibility for a broad range of financial aid. Even if you do not have financial need according to your FAFSA results, many students qualify for some form of financial aid. If you are wondering how the amount of your federal financial aid is determined, see below for our cost of attendance calculator.
