ACTION, University of Colorado System
Recommended Action
RESOLVED that there shall be a $1,000 credit against tuition for all full-time students and a $500 credit against tuition for all part-time students per semester.

RECOMMENDATION FROM:  

Regent Ganahl.

 

 

STATEMENT OF INFORMATION:  

The University of Colorado provides online education as a means of being able to enhance its educational offerings, and the University of Colorado’s accrediting agency recognizes that online learning is an important learning modality that contributes to the University of Colorado’s ability to meet its educational mission. The University of Colorado aims to be a leader on offering online learning to our students as an option to the thousands of our students who view online learning as a viable and convenient way to complete their education while balancing the competing demands of education, family, jobs and other life complications, many of which are heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

When a student enrolls for an online course, that student has elected to receive that component of education through that modality and the tuition associated with that course. The University of Colorado has made significant investments to allow it to provide effective online education, and the costs of providing online education are equal to and in some instances greater than providing in-person instruction.

 

Providing a tuition rebate to students this academic term is an appropriate means of recognizing that COVID-19 has led to incredible hardship for our CU students and families.

 

The University of Colorado will, if necessary, make reductions in its operating budget and use its reserves to provide relief to families that are struggling with difficult decisions about how to support their students’ education. The University of Colorado must lead on this effort for our students and families and become one of the first public systems of higher education to provide tuition relief. In doing so, it will join many private institutions that have recognized the necessity of providing significant tuition discounts to families struggling in this historic time.

 

 

PREVIOUS ACTION(S):  

None.
