Tuition Guarantee Groups
Tuition Guarantee Groups are based on undergraduate students' start term. Knowing your group will help you find the tuition and fee rates that apply to you.
Undergraduate Tuition Guarantee Groups
| First Term as a Degree or Licensure-Seeking Undergraduate Student | Tuition Guarantee Group | Tuition Guarantee Time Period |
|---|---|---|
| Summer 2024, Fall 2024 or Spring 2025 | Group T | Fall 2024 through Summer 2028 |
| Summer 2023, Fall 2023 or Spring 2024 | Group S | Fall 2023 through Summer 2027 |
| Summer 2022, Fall 2022 or Spring 2023 | Group R | Fall 2022 through Summer 2026 |
| Spring 2022 and earlier | Groups A–Q | Fall 2021 through Summer 2025 |
- Students first enrolled in Summer 2025 pay Group T rates in Summer 2025 and then move to Group U rates starting in Fall 2025. See Tuition & Fee Rate Sheets for specific rates by guarantee group.
- Most degree programs at CU Boulder can be completed in four years if a student completes a full-time course load (15 to 16 credits or more per semester). The guarantee encourages maintaining a schedule that allows for graduation within a four-year period. Students whose education at CU Boulder exceeds four years will pay the rate assigned to the group following your initial group. (For example, if you were in Group Q for four years and plan to enroll for one more year, your original guarantee period has ended, and you then move into Group R.)
