CCU is a private university, and its reported 2024-25 undergraduate tuition did not differ by Colorado residency. IPEDS listed average full-time undergraduate tuition of $27,631 and required fees of $1,215 for that reporting year.
Those figures total $43,412 before transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges. They are not a personalized cost-of-attendance quote. A separate tuition figure of $41,858 appears in a 2026 college profile; it should not be substituted into the 2024-25 estimate above or assumed to apply to every CCU program. Adult, online, graduate, and part-time students should obtain the rate for their own course format and term.
Aid can substantially change what a student pays. In 2024-25 reporting, all students in the measured aid population received some form of financial aid, and 45% had student loans. Aid may include institutional scholarships, eligible federal or state grants, and loans; the mix matters because loans must generally be repaid. Students seeking need-based federal aid should complete the FAFSA and review CCU's current scholarship rules and deadlines. Reported average net prices differed by family income - for example, $24,819 for families earning no more than $48,000 - but an individual offer may be higher or lower. Compare the full annual cost and the renewable terms of each award, not just the first-year scholarship amount.
CCU students can pursue part-time work alongside their studies, while eligible students may be able to use Federal Work-Study as part of a financial aid offer. Work-Study is not an automatic job or an upfront tuition discount: students generally earn wages for hours worked and must find an available position.
Students should check their aid offer and current student-job postings to determine whether a position requires Work-Study eligibility or is open to other applicants. Hours, duties, and availability vary. A paid campus job, an internship for academic or career experience, and Federal Work-Study funding are related but distinct arrangements.
CCU also reports career support for undergraduates, including individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings and fairs, employer recruiting, and alumni networking. Students seeking a career-related job can use those services to explore openings, but access to career services should not be interpreted as a verified employment outcome or a promise of placement.
