Did You Receive a Bill from the Community College?
Wait - isn't CEC supposed to cover my tuition?!?!
Sometimes the community colleges will accidentally send you a bill or you may see a statement with a balance owed when you log into your community college student account - it may even show past due! Don't Worry! You do not need to pay this bill. Processing all of our CEC students takes time and there may be overlaps in communication between the community college and CEC.
If you ever exceed your funds for the school year, Colorado Early Colleges will bill you directly at the end of the year. If you have any questions or are wondering if you need to pay a bill you received from the community college, please reach out to your advisor to confirm, before you pay.
