For 2025-26, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees were approximately $4,663 for Colorado residents and $17,576 for nonresidents. These totals combine the reported tuition and required-fee figures for each residency category; an individual bill will depend on credit load, course charges and residency classification.
The room-and-board figure is a budgeting allowance, not a price for an FRCC residence hall. Adding tuition, required fees, books and that living allowance produces an illustrative $22,908 resident budget or $35,508 nonresident budget before transportation and other personal expenses. Those sums are not an official individualized cost-of-attendance award calculation.
Net price means cost after applicable grant and scholarship aid, averaged across a defined group; it is not the published tuition rate. Reported average net prices vary with family income - for example, $11,197 for the lowest reported income band and $21,378 for the highest. A student's actual cost will also depend on enrollment intensity, aid eligibility and living arrangements. Eligible students can pursue federal and state grants, scholarships and loans through the financial-aid process; Colorado residents should also check whether they qualify for state tuition benefits. In the reported aid figures, 56% of students received financial aid and 11% received student loans, a reminder that aid receipt and borrowing are different measures.
FRCC students may be able to combine coursework with part-time employment, including Federal Work-Study if they qualify. Work-Study is a need-based financial-aid program that pays eligible students for approved work; receiving an award does not itself place a student in a job.
Students seeking Work-Study should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), review their aid offer and follow FRCC's student-employment application process. Ordinary campus jobs may have different eligibility and funding rules, while an internship is an academic or career experience rather than necessarily a Work-Study position. Availability and schedules can differ across campuses and terms.
FRCC's career support includes individual and group career planning, résumé help, interview preparation, career-interest exploration and access to job-search resources. Employer events and job fairs can provide leads, but they should not be confused with verified job-placement results. Students in a career program can ask whether internships or clinical placements are required, optional or arranged through the department.
