have taken time off due to extenuating circumstances and would like to appeal the school’s tuition policy?

Colorado College bills tuition per semester and not on a block by block basis.  There is typically no refund of tuition, room or board for a single block off.  Leaves for two or more blocks are considered on a case by case basis. An appeal based on unusual or extenuating circumstances will be considered by the Student Accounts Appeal Board, chaired by the V.P. for Student Life.  Send a written appeal explaining the circumstances and your request to: Karen.klein@Coloradocollege.edu
