The easiest way for a military member to obtain in-state tuition waiver is to:

• Print out orders sending you to school
• Print out the CSU Military Waiver form (see link for tuition adjustment above)
• Visit your current CO or the ROTC Commanding Officer at CSU (Army, Air Force)
  • The ROTC units at CSU are located in the Military Sciences building on the southeast corner of the University Avenue/East Drive intersection. see #21 on map
  • CSU does not have a Naval ROTC unit nor a Marines ROTC unit. Please visit the following links for information on these two military units.
    • Naval ROTC Boulder link: http://www.colorado.edu/NROTC/
    • Marines ROTC Boulder link: http://www.colorado.edu/NROTC/marines/
• Give to your CO:
  • A copy of your orders
  • Your military ID
  • The filled out CSU military waiver form (he/she will need to sign this form)
• Deliver paperwork to the CSU Registrar's office either via US mail or by hand delivering if you are at CSU
  • The Registrar's office is located in Centennial Hall on the northeast side of the East Drive/University Avenue intersection. see #19 on map
  • Mailing address for Registrar's office:
    • 1063 Campus Delivery, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1063
    • Phone number: 970-491-4860

It is best to process the waiver immediately upon receipt of orders as you will have plenty of other things to think about during your move!

The nearest active duty bases are:

• Buckley AFB in Aurora, CO (the Denver area about 65 miles one way)
• F.E. Warren AFB Cheyenne, WY (about 45 miles one way)
  

Transferring Post 9/11 GI Bill Benefits:

The transfer of the benefits of the Post 9/11 GI Bill to the service members' spouse and/or dependant can be accomplished by going to this website while on active duty: http://www.defense.gov/home/features/2009/0409_gibill/

Access the page that allows you transfer and distribute your benefit (by number of months...you are entitled to 36 months in most cases...or four academic years).  This will be processed in a few weeks, and you will granted a waiver to transfer.

Prior to the academic program beginning for your dependant, you can go the following site: http://www.gibill.va.gov/ and the dependant to whom the benefits have been transferred fills out and submits a VA Form 22-1990E "Application for Family Member to Use Transferred Benefits."  After a few weeks you should get a letter from the VA regional office outlining the dependant's benefits.  It is best to do all of this in the early spring prior to a fall admission.

If you are planning to use this benefit for a dependant, you must remember to apply to transfer the benefit before you leave active duty.

Generally, the Bill pays for tuition, books, as well as living expenses without any subsequent military obligation.
