Certification Statement
I certify that to the best of my knowledge the information included in this waiver request is accurate, true and unaltered. If false information or falsified supporting documentation is found to have been included in this waiver request, the request becomes void, and the resultant action becomes retroactively nullified.
I understand that if this COF institutional waiver is approved, it is a once-in-a-lifetime waiver from the 145 COF lifetime hours limitation. It is only good for three consecutive semesters.
I understand that if I have not completed the requirements for a baccalaureate degree by the end of the waiver period and choose to continue my coursework, OR if I do not meet the policy criteria to receive the additional hours from the waiver, I must A) pay full tuition without COF stipend credit for all hours in excess of the hours added to my COF lifetime limit, or B) seek a State waiver (State waiver form is available at: https://highered.colorado.gov/sites/highered/files/2020-03/cof-waiver-application.pdf).
