Course Deposits
The following course deposits are required for summer courses:
$25 for a .25 unit course
$50 for a .50 unit course
$100 for each 1.00 or 2.00 unit course
$500 for all intercultural courses, and domestic off-campus courses (PH 262 1310 / CO 200 1320 / PY 120 1310)
In order to hold a place in a Summer Session course more than a week before the course begins, a non-refundable tuition course deposit is due. Even if you are using your Wild Card, you are required to make a deposit. This deposit will be credited to your student account upon completion of the course. If you are not using a Wild Card, the cost of the deposit will be put towards your final tuition payment. Course deposits are non-transferable, except in the case of a course cancellation. If you decide to drop the class after paying your deposit, your deposit will be forfeited. See the financial consequences section on this page for more information on dropping a course.
If the class is full and you are put on the wait list, you will still need to pay the course deposit. However, if the course starts and you do not get into the class the deposit will be credited to your student account. In order to get your credit to the student account you must fill out a course wait list drop slip and give a copy to the business office.
You may not enroll in more than once course at a time, even if you are on a wait list.
You can make your deposit online with your student I.D. and PIN number. Click here to view your student account online and make the deposit.

Program Fees
In addition to tuition, some courses require supplementary fees called "program fees" which cover additional costs such as travel, food, lodging and other expenses. These extra program costs are listed with the course description. Program fees are charged and due at the same time as tuition for the course. Students who enroll in a course with a program fee and then drop the course are still responsible for non-recoverable portions of the program fee.

Tuition Charges
Summer Session tuition at Colorado College is about one-half the amount of tuition during the fall and spring terms. If you have not yet taken a summer class with us, you are eligible for your Wild Card.
The tuition for this summer is:
1 Block (4 semester hours): $2,545
2 Blocks (8 semester hours): $5,090
3 Blocks (12 semester hours): $7,635

Course Cancellations
Courses that do not meet our minimum enrollment requirement three weeks prior to the start of the course will be cancelled. When a course is cancelled, we will use the available contact information to notify any students who are enrolled. Emergencies (such as the professor's health) may also result in unanticipated course cancellations. Students enrolled in a cancelled course may transfer their course deposit (and/or any paid tuition) to another course or receive a course deposit (tuition) refund. Please note that only a few courses are cancelled each summer.

Wild Card
Every Colorado College undergraduate is eligible for one free "Wild Card" summer block at the college after one semester of study and before all requirements for graduation have been met. Wild Cards may not be used for independent study, readings, or any thesis course. If you are uncertain whether a course qualifies, ask the dean or assistant dean of summer programs. If you decide to use your Wild Card, you must also pay the course deposit, which will be credited to your account after completion of the course. If you drop a course you were intending to use the Wild Card for, deposits are not refunded. You must also drop the course you're using with a Wild Card one week prior to the beginning of the course, or additional tuition penalties will apply. See financial consequences if you are unsure about the penalties.

Financial Aid
Limited funds for financial aid are available for Colorado College undergraduates who receive assistance during the fall and spring terms. Please take note that if you are on financial aid during the regular year, the accumulated credits during Summer Session are considered toward the total number of units for financial aid eligibility. You should visit the financial aid office and talk to a financial aid administrator to learn more about how Summer Session may affect your overall eligibility.

Housing Information
If you decide to live on campus during the Summer Session 2009 you will be housed in the Western Ridge Student Apartment Complex. Just as during the regular year, you are not required to participate in the meal-plan while living there.
If you have not yet had a chance to check out the accommodations in Western Ridge, they each consist of a furnished living room, full kitchen with stove, refrigerator, furnished bedrooms, and a compartmentalized bathroom. The following items are not provided: bed linens, towels, microwave ovens, utensils, dishes, and pots and pans. Residents should also plan to supply their own telephone and computer.
Our housing rates from 2008 (this coming summer should be posted in early January), per block, were:
Studio Apartment: $843
Single Room: $790
Double Room: $753
Optional board per block: $504 - includes 40 meals per block plus 50 dining dollars for Rastall or Jazzman's (Other board options are available through the Gold Card office)
Enrolling in a Summer Session course does not automatically reserve on-campus room and board. To do so, you must fill out a separate application, which will be available at a later unknown date. Summer session suggests applying for housing by May 15 to insure that you will have a room reserved.
To download and print a PDF version of our housing application, please check back in late December or early January. Return the application to Residential Life.
Please note that NO DEPOSIT is required to reserve a room with residental life for Summer Session 2009.
Just as during our regular year, any questions of policy for living on campus should be referred to in the Pathfinder.

Financial Consequences of Summer Course Changes
If a student withdraws from a course prior to one week before it begins, by formally notifying, in writing, the registrar's office, tuition will be refunded (if already paid) or not charged for that course; however, the deposit will not be refunded. A student who withdraws later, but on or before the third day of the course's block, will be refunded 70 percent of tuition already charged. After the third day of the block, full tuition is charged. Within the period of one week before the course starts and the third day of its block, students may exchange registration for other courses that carry the same total unit values and are scheduled during the same block with no tuition penalty other than forfeiting any course deposits previously submitted for the dropped course. If a change in courses during this period results in enrollment for fewer units, students will be charged 30 percent of the tuition costs for the number of units dropped and not replaced.
