Summer Programs - Tuition and Fees

CBK Summer Programs tuition is comparable to other programs offering the same type of residential experience. Hourly rates reduce to an average of $16/hour excluding the cost of overnight and weekend supervision and participation. Tuition covers campus room and board and facilities, (the majority of tuition goes to CU Boulder), staff salaries/housing, planning and evaluation for the courses, publications, books, materials, program shirt, and residential events and trips. Additional student expenses not covered in tuition may include a lab fee for materials-based courses, and may include souvenirs from the campus bookstore, snacks, laundry, or other optional activities.

 

Payments must be made online.

Lab fees and shuttle fees are paid upon ACCEPTANCE.

Discounts are applied at initial application and reduce final tuition payments.

Application Fee

All applicants must submit a nonrefundable $50 application fee. This fee is not applied to program tuition. Applications not including this fee (this must be included even with application for financial aid) or with insufficient funds are returned.

Regular COMPLETED application deadline is APRIL 3rd, 2020.

Tuition Deposit

A 50% tuition deposit is due with the application. This deposit is applied directly toward tuition and is rarely refunded. If applying for financial aid, the tuition deposit is waived and any monies remaining due following the award must be paid by May 1st, 2020.

 

Refund Policy

The 50% tuition deposit is refunded only if:

Students who must withdraw during a program due to hospitalization or the death of a parent, guardian, or sibling will receive a prorated refund not to exceed 50% of program fees paid, less the deposit and a 10% fee. If a student withdraws for any other reason after the first day of the program has started, or if a student is dismissed from the program, no monies will be refunded. Refunds take 4-6 weeks to process.


Tuition Pricing

Please note that applications are queued by a date and time stamp for course placement. This stamp does not occur until the application is COMPLETE, meaning application fee, 50% tuition, submitted application, and both letters of recommendation have been uploaded.

 

Payment of all program fees must be received in our office no later than May 1st, 2020. Students with an outstanding balance at the deadline may have their applications withdrawn.

Residential Damage Fees

CBK will maintain a $150 security deposit for any incidental fees for each student attending programs. Damage fees will be invoiced to families within 10 days following each program. Fees are heavily documented and indisputable. Damages beyond $300 will be reported as vandalism to Campus Security for investigation and collections. Most common sample fees include late or lost library book fees, lost or missing Buff Card fees, double-paid meals due to forgotten Buff Cards, medications following a doctor visit, or lockouts. Any remaining security deposit will be refunded between 10-14 days following each program by check from CNDC.

Airport Shuttle Service

Service to/from DIA can be arranged by CBK for unaccompanied student arrivals and departures at $90 roundtrip or $45 one way and are paid at acceptance. If someone is traveling with your student, please make your own arrangements using SuperShuttle. Students must plan to adhere to program arrival and departure schedules – additional housing and supervision CANNOT be provided. Students electing this service will be met at the terminal or gate. Flight arrangements must be made in the following windows: Arrivals (8:30am-11:00am); Departures (7:00am-9:30am). CBK MUST be notified of any flight for a student to/from the program. A student MAY NOT travel unaccompanied and make separate arrangements solo via any form of ground transportation. Please contact CBK for more information on this service or for gate clearance identifications three days prior to arrival. Arrivals or departures outside of these times cannot be supervised or met by CBK staff, as they are required elsewhere.
