Application Fee
All students must submit a non-refundable $50 application fee with the completed Summer Session application. This application fee is waived if you have previously registered for courses at Colorado College and have a Colorado College ID number. Faxed applications are processed as soon as Summer Session receives all required application materials (the application, application fee, course deposits, letter of recommendation, and high school transcript- your tuition, program fees, and health requirements will be processed after you have been accepted). Course enrollment is processed once course deposits are received. The course desposit and application fee must be written as two separate checks, or processed as two separate credit card fees. We are unable to process any deposits and application fees that are on the same check or in the same credit card transaction. It is advisable to pay both the application fee and course deposit at one time to expedite the process of enrollment in the desired course.

Course Deposits
The following course deposits are required for summer courses:
$25 for .25 units
$50 for .50 units
$100 for each 1.00 or 2.00 unit course
$500 for all intercultural courses, and the domestic off-campus course (PH 262 1310 / CO 200 1320 / PY 120 1310)
1 unit at Colorado College equals 4 semester hours
In order to hold a place in a Summer Session course we need to receive a non-refundable tuition course deposit at least one week prior to the course beginning. Your course deposit goes toward your tuition. The course deposit is non-transferable except in the case of a course cancellation. If a student withdraws from a course, the deposit for that course will be forfeited. Because many courses do fill up, and a few classes have been cancelled for low enrollment, students are encouraged to pre-register for courses as soon as possible to ensure enrollment in the desired class.

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 (which you can view by searching by block or by department). 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.

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 part of the paid tuition) to another course or receive a course deposit (tuition) refund.
Please note that only a few courses are cancelled each summer.

The college provides an extra-long twin bed, chest of drawers, desk and chair, mirror, mattress protector, wastebasket, wall or ceiling light, microfridges, and a live jack for telephone service.
The college does not provide the following, which you will need to bring if you want them: extra-long twin bed sheets, blankets, pillows, bedspreads, towels, washcloths, reading lamps, drinking glasses, any sort of plates, bowls or utensils, extension cords, a personal computer, or telephones. Room charges include local telephone service, but you'll need to bring your own phone.

Financial Consequences of Summer Course Changes
If a student withdraws from a course prior to one week before it begins, by formally notifying the summer programs office, in writing, 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.

Health Requirements
All students must meet the minimum standards of Colorado health requirements while they are taking summer courses. You have the option of waiving the services of our Boettcher Health Center and the need to provide complete health records to the college, but all summer students must still attest to being free of communicable diseases. All health information and waivers will be mailed in April and thereafter with your welcome packet.
