Financial Aid Timeline & Confirmation Extension
Recently, the Department of Education announced that delivery of financial aid information to colleges and universities is delayed for the 2024-25 school year. CU Boulder relies on this information to generate financial aid offers for students. This latest delay creates uncertainty for students, especially new admits who are making decisions about where to attend to this fall.
In support of our students and families who rely on financial assistance, CU Boulder is extending the confirmation date from May 1 to June 1 for undergraduate students admitted for Fall 2024. The housing deadline is also extended to June 5.
