pikes peak community college tuition
For tuition purposes, students are considered either in-state or out-of-state when they apply for admission. This practice is governed by Colorado statute. To be entitled to in-state tuition, students must live in Colorado and fulfill specific citizen responsibilities for one full calendar year before they register. Contact the Student Services Centers for more information or see the second page of the Application for Admission form.
Active Duty Military, Veterans and their dependents. Active Duty Military who are stationed (or TDY) in Colorado and their eligible dependents can receive In-State Tuition rates by presenting a copy of their valid Military ID to any Military and Veterans Programs or Student Services office. Deployed soldiers should contact myp@ppcc.edu for assistance with in-state tuition. In-state tuition rates will be granted through the term the ID card expires. Veterans (or their eligible dependents) whose ETS date is prior to the start of class should inquire about receiving in-state tuition rates by submitting a Veterans Waiver Form, also available through Military and Veterans Programs or Student Services.
Olympic Training Center. Olympic athletes may pay in-state tuition rates. Student status must be verified by the U.S. Olympic Training Center. A separate form must be submitted to the Student Services Centers prior to the census date each term for which the in-state tuition rate is requested. The College has no obligation to honor late requests, in which case the student may be held responsible for payment of the non-resident tuition rates.
Colorado ASSET Bill
Senate Bill 13-033, also known as Colorado ASSET, allows U.S. Citizens, Permanent Residents, and students without lawful immigration status to receive in-state tuition through attendance and graduation from a Colorado high school or through attendance at a Colorado high school combined with obtaining the GED.
To qualify for in-state tuition under ASSET, students must:
- Have attended a public or private high school in Colorado for at least three years immediately preceding the date the student either graduated from a Colorado high school or completed a general equivalency diploma in Colorado; and
- Be admitted to a Colorado college or university within 12 months of graduation from a Colorado high school or completion of a Colorado GED.
- Students without lawful immigration status must apply for COF and complete an affidavit stating that the student has applied for lawful presence or will apply as soon as he or she is eligible to do so.
- Students without lawful immigration status who graduated or complete their GED prior to September 1, 2013, but were not admitted to a college or university within twelve months after graduating or completing the GED must have been physically present in Colorado on a continuous basis for at least 18 months preceding the start of the semester.
- As with the traditional domicile path, residency classification will be determined based off the information and documents submitted by the student. The burden of proof is on the individual seeking in-state tuition.
College Opportunity Fund (COF)
The State of Colorado historically subsidized higher education for in-state students by giving money directly to the colleges. In 2004 the Colorado Legislature enacted a new law establishing the College Opportunity Fund (COF). Under this new law, the State gives this money for the subsidy to students by sending it to the institution the student designates. This money, known as the College Opportunity Fund stipend, will be applied to an in-state student’s tuition if the student applies for and authorizes the use of the stipend. The college you are attending will receive the money and it will appear as a credit on your tuition bill. Currently the College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend is estimated to be worth $77 per credit hour.
Failure to sign up and authorize COF will result in the loss of this stipend. To sign up go to www.ppcc.edu/cof.

Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) Program
Students who are residents of Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) www.wiche.edu/states may be eligible to request a reduced Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) tuition rate which is less than the non-resident rate. WICHE states include Alaska, Arizona, California, Commonwealth of N. Marianas Islands, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
Students applying for the WUE program must provide evidence of domicile in the qualifying states and will be required to reapply for WUE each semester. You may pick up a WUE application at any campus at the Student Services Center.
Students are not permitted to apply time spent in the WUE program toward satisfaction of residency requirements for tuition classification purposes. Online courses are not eligible for the WUE tuition rate.

* Tuition and fees are set by the State Legislature and Governing Board late in the fiscal year and potential increases for the 2019-2020 year are unknown at the time of this printing. Tuition and fee rates for off-campus locations may vary according to operational costs.
Student Activity Fees
Mandatory fees associated with enrollment in the college and/or campus that are assessed for a specific purpose. These fees include, but are not limited to, student centers, recreation, student government, contract health services, and/or similar services and facilities; non-bonded parking fees; and any general fee, the revenue from which is appropriated by student government for a specific purpose. Specific guidelines are provided in the PPCC Institutional Fee Plan.
Residency Classification Appeals
Out-of-state students pay higher tuition than in-state students. Students classified as out-of-state who believe that they are in-state may appeal by picking up a “Petition for In-State Tuition Classification” from the Student Services Centers. The petition and required supporting documents must be submitted to the Student Services Centers by the deadline listed in the class schedule. Turning in a petition does not guarantee that residency status will be changed. If the petition is denied, the student must drop classes by the deadline or pay out-of-state tuition and fees.
To challenge the ruling on a petition, students may appeal to the Tuition Classification Review Committee. Ask the Student Services Centers personnel for details.
The general requirements for Colorado residency are as follows:
- 12 months of continuous domicile in the state of Colorado
- Have filed Colorado state income tax returns as a Colorado resident
- Have a Colorado driver’s license
For the entire Colorado policy regarding residency, go to highered.colorado.gov/Finance/Residency/default.html. All information used to prove Colorado residency must be submitted to the Student Services Center by the first day of class for the full term.
Refunds/Adjustments
To receive a tuition refund, or an adjustment, students must drop classes by the deadline listed in the class schedule. No refunds or adjustments will be made after that date except in rare cases. Appeal forms are available in the Student Services Centers or on the Internet. Appeals for past school years cannot be considered. Contract programs may have different refund procedures.
Books
The bookstores at the Centennial and Rampart Range Campuses stock books and supplies needed for courses offered at that campus. A wide variety of other school supplies and PPCC insignia items are also available at all three campus bookstores.
Textbooks may be purchased from our bookstore online at www.ppccbookstore.com. Course material information in accordance with the College Opportunity and Affordability Act is available at www.ppccbookstore.com.
The bookstores have several opportunities for you to sell your eligible books back. The demand for books and the condition of your books will determine eligibility for all buyback opportunities listed below.
- “Top Dollar Buyback” is scheduled at the end of each semester. This is an opportunity for you to sell your books back for up to 50 percent of the bookstore purchase price.
- Buybacks are also scheduled at the beginning of each term. This buyback offers wholesale value for your eligible books.
- In addition, between scheduled buyback events, the bookstore will review your books for buyback eligibility on a daily basis. If eligible, we can pay you wholesale value for your books. This is available online at www.ppccbookstore.com or in one of our stores during normal business hours. There are circumstances where buyback proceeds may be applied to outstanding balances at the College.
