Update on "Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens" Executive Order

May 23, 2025

Dear Valued CSU Global Community,

CSU Global leadership has reviewed the Executive Order from President Trump titled “Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens” issued on April 28, 2025. This order is not expected to cause any changes to tuition rates or admission policies at CSU Global, as we offer both in-state and out-of-state students access to the same affordable tuition rates at $375 per credit hour for undergraduate courses and $675 per credit hour for graduate courses – along with CSU Global’s Tuition Guarantee and No Fees framework.

We will continue to ensure CSU Global complies with all local, state, and federal laws and operates in service of our mission and values to help students achieve their academic and professional goals, and continue to provide a supportive environment for our students, staff, and faculty that includes cost-free access to our 24×7 live technical support and library access; writing and career center resources, and assigned dedicated student advisors.

Additionally, for your reference, at this link is a statement from the Colorado Department of Higher Education in response to the recent Executive Order.  

Thank you for your continued dedication to CSU Global and its learner-centered mission. Please do not hesitate to reach out to CSUG Compliance if you have any questions.

With respect and gratitude,

Becky Takeda-Tinker, President

Audra Spicer, Provost and Chief Academic Officer

Patti Arroyo, Chief Business Officer
