Tuition Assistance Benefit application period open for fall: Find out what's new

Education is an opportunity for personal and professional growth for everyone, which is why the University of Colorado offers the Tuition Assistance Benefit. For eligible faculty and staff, this generous CU benefit reduces the overall cost of higher education.

What's new?

Starting this semester, CU Denver will allow employees taking undergraduate courses to register seven calendar days prior to the first day of the semester or the first day of class, whichever is earlier. This brings all CU campuses into alignment, allowing registration seven days in advance for undergraduate and graduate courses.

Eligible CU faculty and staff can save on up to 9 credits per academic year (fall through summer) on any CU campus. Dependent assistance options vary based on the employee’s home campus and the campus in which the dependent attends.

The fall 2022 application for is now open for all four CU campuses.
