We've Extended Your COF Lifetime Hour Limit (Targeted Message) Linda Sprouse Thu, 01/29/2026 - 00:00 Office of the Registrar

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 29, to students whose COF lifetime limit was extended on their behalf.

Dear [first],

We noticed that you've exhausted your allotted 145 lifetime hours of COF funding toward your degree. On your behalf, we've granted you an institutional extension that allows your COF funding to continue through Fall 2026.

You don't need to take any additional action at this time. This semester's COF hours will be applied to your bill within 48 to 72 hours.

To Apply for Additional COF Hours

If you need COF hours beyond Fall 2026, you may submit a Colorado Commission on Higher Education waiver request to ask for additional hours.

To Postpone This Extension

To postpone this COF lifetime limit extension until your next semester of enrollment, email the COF support team by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 27.

Please be aware that if you postpone the extension, you'll be responsible for paying the portion of this semester's tuition typically covered by COF funds.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email on Thursday, Jan. 15, to students who had not applied for COF and were eligible for Fall 2025.

Dear [first],

Our records indicate that you haven't applied for the College Opportunity Fund (COF) for Fall 2025. There is still time to apply but you need to take action now.

COF was created by the Colorado Legislature to pay a portion of total in-state tuition for eligible undergrads. There's no limit to the number of students who receive it, and you never have to pay it back.

Please follow our instructions to apply for COF. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

For Your Information: Fall 2025 COF Stipend Linda Sprouse Fri, 01/16/2026 - 08:36

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email on Thursday, Jan. 15, at 7 p.m. to students who had not supplied CU Boulder with their Social Security number to CU Boulder in order to receive COF funds for Fall 2025.

Dear [first],

Your College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend couldn’t be applied during Fall 2025 because you hadn’t supplied CU Boulder with your Social Security number (SSN).

To address this mismatch, the Office of the Registrar worked with the Colorado Department of Education to add your SSN to your CU Boulder student record. This will allow you to receive COF funds for Fall 2025.

No action is needed on your part at this time. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
