State & Federal Regulations

Colorado Opportunity Fund (COF)

• An act of the Colorado State Legislature in May 2004 established a new way for the State to provide state tax dollar support for higher education at the undergraduate level. The state no longer appropriates monies to institutions for undergraduate education, but provides direct funding to undergraduate students through the "College Opportunity Fund" or "COF". This program is also known as "vouchers" or "stipends". COF is not a loan, nor is it financial aid.

For more information, please read the .

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

Bankruptcy Policy/Discharged Debt

• ​Students who have previously filed for bankruptcy or have a current open bankruptcy claim are thus covered by the period of automatic stay. If a student has an open bankruptcy claim, or if a student has previously had debt forgiven with the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus through bankruptcy (any chapter), or discharged due to expired judgment, the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus will allow the student full access to records and allow the student to register for future semesters. However, all payments must be made before registering for the semester in which they are enrolling, or the student must have completed their financial aid packet and have funds awarded by the payment deadline. If the financial aid does not cover the entire semester enrolled, the student must pay in full the remaining balance by the payment deadline, or they may be dropped from their classes.​​

E-Bill Policy

• ​The University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus has implemented an official E-Bill (electronic billing) program. The university no longer mails paper billing statements to students.  All registered students must access their student account bill through the UCDAccess portal. 
• E-bills are online student billing statements. E-bills display the same information as paper billing statements (for example, charges for tuition and fees, as well as credits and payments). As a student, you will receive a monthly notification to your official university e-mail account stating that your current E-Bill is available. This e-mail notification will include a link to the UCDAccess portal and step-by-step instructions for accessing your E-Bill. 
• Your E-Bill is a snapshot of your student account, similar to any paper bills you may receive. Any student account activity that has taken place since the E-Bill was created will not be reflected. The "Account Balance" provided within the "Financial Account" tile in UCDAccess is your true student balance. 
• Your payment options will not change as a result of the E-Bill program. You may pay online with an electronic check or credit card, in person at the Bursar's Office, or mail a check or money order payment to the address provided on the PDF version of your E-Bill.
• You may set up other individuals (such as a parent, guardian, employer, or other third party) as "Authorized Payers" to view your E-Bill and make payments online. Any Authorized Payer you establish will receive an email notification each time a new E-Bill is available. If your parent or guardian typically pays your tuition and fee bill, the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus encourages you to establish that person as an Authorized Payer.

Employee Tuition Benefit Policy

• CU offers you or your dependent 9 credit hours of covered tuition each academic year. To fit courses into your schedule, you can use your tuition waiver benefit at any CU campus. As a CU employee, we require that you wait to enroll until the first day of the semester, but your dependent is allowed to register during open registration. Are you ready to take advantage of this benefit? There are some specific steps to take to get your tuition waiver benefit.
