Students living at home will have their cost of attendance adjusted to account for the reduction in CC housing and meal charges. The original cost of attendance allowance for housing and meals per semester is $8,010. The allowance for housing and meals will be reduced by $5,247 per semester, leaving a $2,763 allowance per semester remaining for lunch expenses while students are enrolled in classes. CC Financial Aid Office will reduce awarded institutional grant aid by $5,247 to coincide with the reduction in cost of attendance and charges.

The Office of Financial Aid recommends you reach out to the CC Housing office at housing@coloradocollege.edu to inquire about your housing charge. Once the Housing office has submitted your updated charges the Office of Student Accounts they will adjust your charges. Once those two steps are complete, the Office of Financial Aid is then able to determine your financial aid eligibility.
