The class is open to all University of Colorado faculty and staff.

The cost for the Phase 1 class is $240 for University of Colorado Health and Welfare Trust plan participants and $295 for all others. This is a substantial discount from the regular price of $349. In addition, Trust plan participants can receive a $100 rebate for meeting attendance and logging goals.   Trust plans include UANet, Lumenos, HMO Colorado, Medicare Primary and Kaiser (exempt employees only). The class will be paid through payroll deduction in the amount of $50 per month until the class is paid in full.
