Summer 2025 Financial Aid
2024-2025 Financial Aid Awards
The Office of Financial Aid will begin sending financial aid offers for the 2024-2025 academic year beginning late February for new students and mid-March for continuing students. Summer Session 2025 financial aid will be automatically offered to eligible students who are enrolled in summer classes and have completed a 2024-2025 FAFSA beginning mid-April.
For some types of aid a minimum of six credits is required. After students have registered for summer courses, they will be notified of summer financial aid offers via email and can review their financial aid status using RAMweb at that time.
Office of Financial Aid
Please consult with a counselor in the Office of Financial Aid to determine your specific needs, learn about the options available, and the application process. The Office of Financial Aid provides information about types of financial aid:
Eligibility
Before you may receive any financial aid you have been awarded, you must maintain certain eligibility criteria
Unique Circumstances
Students who are experiencing unique circumstances are encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid to discuss additional options.
Summer Flexible Payment Plan
Payment plans spread tuition throughout the semester, making it easier to plan finances ahead of time.
The flexible payment plan opens April 15, 2025. The enrollment deadline is May 27, 2025. Individuals who are enrolled in the summer payment plan by the deadline can disregard the June 10 billing due date. Withdrawals will be taken from their designated account in June and July instead of paying by the term billing due date. For more information about the payment plan, refer to the payment plan information page.
Jobs and Summer Employment
Student employment is an opportunity for students to work part time and earn wages to help pay for living expenses.
On- and off-campus jobs in Fort Collins are usually plentiful and flexible over the summer. Learn more through the Career Center, including Jobs, Connecting 1:1 and/or explore the careers and resources tabs. Job listings for students are available in RAMweb through the Menu > Student Employment.
On-Campus Summer Housing
Learn more about on-campus summer housing.
- Students may stay in Parmelee Hall and pay only for the weeks they stay. This provides flexibility and may reduce expenses for nonresident students who want to stay for a summer course or arrive back to campus before the fall semester begins.
- Summer-only/Visiting students can also stay in Parmelee.
- Leases often begin in August, so a stay in Parmelee may help bridge a gap in summer housing.
- It is also possible to stay in a residence hall between the end of summer term and move-in day for the fall term.
