In-state tuition in Colorado, by visa
Whether a family on a work visa can ever pay the resident rate in Colorado — the governing rule, the H-4 and F-1 answers, the waiting clock, and any high-school-attendance path. The residency officer is always the final authority; this page gets you to the right one with the right citation.
Who decides
Statewide: C.R.S. §23-7-101 et seq.; campus tuition-classification officers apply.
The high-school path
ASSET, C.R.S. §23-7-110 — 1 yr CO HS + 12 months presence — 'other than a nonimmigrant alien'.
Covers visa-holder kids: no — it excludes nonimmigrants.
Where this comes from
C.R.S. §23-7-102/-103; §23-7-110 (ASSET).
