Community College of Denver

What is the cost of studying for a year at Community College of Denver?

CCD's published 2024-25 undergraduate tuition figures show a substantial difference between Colorado-resident and nonresident prices. Tuition and required fees are only part of an annual budget: students also need to account for books, transportation, food, and housing.

• Colorado-resident full-time tuition: $4,058, plus $1,000 in required fees.
• Nonresident full-time tuition: $16,658, plus $1,000 in required fees.
• Reported part-time tuition per credit: $169 for residents and $694 for nonresidents, before applicable fees.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,460.

The reported room-and-board figure of $14,679 is a living-expense estimate, not a charge for a CCD residence hall; the college does not operate undergraduate housing. Combining it with tuition can help a student think about a budget, but transportation, personal expenses, enrollment intensity, and individual living arrangements will change the total. Students should use the current CCD cost-of-attendance budget for their circumstances rather than add figures from different academic years.

Net price means estimated cost after grant and scholarship aid, not a discounted tuition rate available to everyone. In the reported figures, the average net price was $9,533 for students from families earning $48,000 or less and $16,275 for those from families earning more than $110,000. These averages describe groups, not individual aid offers. In the same reporting set, 76% of students received some form of financial aid and 17% received student loans.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants, Colorado aid, scholarships, and loans through the applicable financial-aid process. Residency classification, enrollment level, program eligibility, and the student's aid application can all affect the final amount owed.

What are the work-study opportunities at Community College of Denver?

Students can explore employment while attending CCD, but Federal Work-Study, ordinary part-time work, and internships are different arrangements. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid awarded to eligible students; an award establishes a possible earnings limit, not a job offer or an upfront reduction in a tuition bill.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete the required financial-aid application, review their aid offer, and ask CCD's financial-aid office how eligible positions are advertised and paid. Other campus or local jobs may have separate hiring requirements and need not be tied to financial-aid eligibility.

CCD also offers career-development support: reported services include individual and group career planning, résumé help, interest assessment, interview workshops, a job bank, job fairs, and employer recruitment. These services can help students explore work and prepare applications, but participation should not be confused with a verified employment outcome or a required internship for every program.
