Undocumented Applicants
First-year applicants apply using the Common Application. Transfer applicants apply using the CU Boulder Transfer Application. This information is important for determining tuition classification and financial aid eligibility. In the citizenship section, please do the following:
- Select your citizenship status: Other (Non-US)
- List of citizenship: Select the country
- Do you currently hold a valid U.S. Visa? No
If you completed and submitted the CU Boulder application as instructed above, we will contact you via email to tell you that you may qualify for in-state tuition under the ASSET bill. You will need to provide the Office of Admissions with your final, official high school transcript and submit a signed affidavit saying you are currently seeking legal status or will seek it as soon as you are eligible. The affidavit is part of the College Opportunity Fund application and is available on the College Opportunity Fund Website. Submit all documents by July 1.
If you have previously submitted a College Opportunity Fund application and identified as a lawful citizen, you will receive instructions on how to submit a corrected paper COF application from a tuition classification officer in the Office of the Registrar. It is important that you take action on all items to complete the process.
Follow the instructions on the CU Boulder registrar’s website on how to apply for COF, which is a state benefit that reduces the amount of in-state tuition you pay. You will also be able to submit the affidavit mentioned above. Complete the COF affidavit. Click on the “Apply Now” button. Continue with the electronic application and affidavit by filling in your birthdate or clicking on the word “here” to fill out a paper affidavit. If you choose the paper affidavit, please mail it to College Opportunity Fund, 1560 Broadway, Suite 1700, Denver, CO 80202. Submit by July 1.
Undocumented Colorado resident students, also referred to as ASSET, are eligible for need-based CU Boulder grants, including the First Generation grant.
ASSET students are eligible for any CU scholarship available to Colorado residents unless U.S citizenship is specifically listed as a requirement. Opportunities include CU Boulder Esteemed Scholarships and scholarships offered through the CU Boulder Scholarship Application. ASSET students can apply for state and university aid each year beginning Oct. 1 by completing the ASSET Financial Aid Application, also referred to as the CASFA.
Private scholarships can supplement awards from CU Boulder. Visit our scholarship database for both CU Boulder and private scholarship opportunities.
