Your employer may help you qualify for in-district rates
The District Employer Sponsored Rate enables Colorado Mountain College to provide educational services for local tax-paying businesses who are paying for their employees’ credit courses without penalizing them for employees who do not meet state residency requirements.
Under this classification, the employer paying the tuition of the student must be an employer in our district and set up as a third-party organization for billing purposes, and then can pay the in-district rate for employees who are in-state or out-of-state residents involved in job-related training activities.

Discounted rates for non-residents with homes in CMC districts
Students who are classified as non-residents (out-of-state) but who own a residence in the Colorado Mountain College district are allowed to register for up to 5 credits per semester at a rate equivalent to in-state rate. This can include one five-credit course or a combination of one-credit or two-credit courses adding up to five credits total.
This Second Homeowner discount is only for Homeowners not dependents of homeowners.
If an out-of-state resident student takes more than the allowed number of credits within one semester, all credits (including the original credits) will be charged at the regular out-of-state rate.
