CU faculty, staff can save on summer tuition for selves, dependents

CU faculty and staff can now apply for Tuition Assistance for the summer 2019 semester.

Qualified employees can save on up to nine credits, and their children, spouses and other dependents have several options to save on tuition costs.

Employees must submit the application on behalf of their dependent. Submit the Tuition Assistance Benefit application by the deadline for the desired campus at:

• CU Boulder - Aug. 22
• CU Colorado Springs - June 18
• CU Denver l Anschutz - Summer deadline: June 18 (Maymester deadline was May 21)

Get started:

1. Log into the employee portal.
2. Open the CU Resources dropdown menu at the top center of the page and select Forms.
3. Click the Career Advancement tile, then click the Tuition Assistance Application tile.
