Cost of Attendance

The total amount it will cost a student to go to school for the academic year is known as the Cost of Attendance (COA). The COA used by the Financial Aid Office to determine your aid eligibility may exceed your actual direct charges to the university. This is because Financial Aid Office looks at all allowable expenses to build a budget even though the student may not actually incur all these expenses. The Financial Aid Office uses a budget which includes tuition and fees, on-campus room and board (or a housing and food allowance for off-campus students), and allowances for books, supplies, transportation, loan fees (if applicable), and miscellaneous expenses as permitted.

This Cost of Attendance fluctuates depending on in-state vs. out-of-state tuition charges, full time vs. part-time enrollment, and the student's choice of housing arrangements (dormitory, off-campus/paying rent and living away from parents' home, or commuting from a parent or other relative's home.)
