For 2024-25 reporting, full-time undergraduate tuition was $9,000 for both Colorado residents and out-of-state students, with no required fees reported in that tuition category. The reported part-time undergraduate rate was $375 per credit. Graduate figures were $12,150 for full-time tuition and $675 per credit for part-time study, again with no required fees reported in those categories.
Those figures are tuition, not a complete personal budget. Students also need to account for books and supplies, internet access, transportation where relevant, and their own housing and food expenses. The reported books-and-supplies figure was $288. A reported room-and-board allowance of $17,658 should be understood as a budgeting figure, not the price of a CSU Global residence hall or meal plan.
In the same reporting period, 88% of students were reported as receiving financial aid, and 34% received student loans. Aid eligibility varies, so neither figure predicts an individual net price. Before committing, students should use the current tuition schedule and their financial-aid offer to calculate the cost of the credits they actually plan to take; a part-time student's bill will differ from the full-time annual figure.
CSU Global students can combine online study with employment, but an ordinary job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job; it is not a grant paid automatically with tuition assistance.
Students interested in Work-Study should ask the financial-aid office whether CSU Global is offering positions for their enrollment period, whether their aid application establishes eligibility, and how remote or local jobs are approved. Its online format also means that a prospective student should not assume the availability of the campus-based jobs common at residential universities.
For career development, CSU Global reports individual career counseling for undergraduates, résumé help, interview preparation, career-interest assessment, and opportunities to connect with alumni. These services can support a search for employment or an internship, but they are not the same as a job placement or a verified employment outcome.
