IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RESIDENT STUDENTS: SIGN UP FOR THE COLLEGE OPPORTUNITY FUND. The total cost of a student's education, called tuition, includes the state's portion of tuition and the student's portion of tuition. While the state has always paid a portion of a resident student's cost of education, beginning fall semester 2005, it is no longer automatic. Resident students must sign up for the College Opportunity Fund (COF) and authorize its use or pay the total cost of education, including the state and student's portion of tuition. Students must sign up once to create a lifetime account--and then authorize the state initially to pay the student's portion each semester in the form of a COF stipend. There is a lifetime credit limit of 145 undergraduate credit hours although some waivers may apply. For more information, go to the FRCC website at www.frontrange.edu and click on the COF button. You can also sign up for COF or check your COF account at www.CollegeInColorado.org.
