Cost of Attendance
What is Cost of Attendance? The cost of attendance is not the bill that you will receive. It is an estimate of what it costs the typical student to attend their program. Don’t be startled by the price listed in the cost of attendance, it includes and represents your basic living expenses in addition to tuition, fees, books, and supplies.
When comparing financial aid from other schools, make sure you are comparing the total cost of attending that school, not just the total financial aid. It is important for you to budget and make wise decisions regarding how to utilize the financial aid funds you receive. Students are not allowed to receive aid that exceeds their cost of attendance budget.
Understanding Cost of Attendance
- Tuition and Fees: The average cost of tuition and fees for a typical student based on enrolling for a certain number of hours per year. The actual costs that a student incurs will vary depending on the student’s program of study.
- Books, course materials, supplies, and equipment: The cost of books, course materials, supplies, and equipment for a typical student for their selected program of study. Typically includes books, educational supplies, course materials, and computer-related expenses.
- Living Expenses (Housing & Food): A reasonable estimate of what it costs to live while attending school. Actual costs may vary by individual student choices. Typically includes rent, food (based on three meals a day), household supplies and utilities.
- Transportation: Represents travel costs for the average number of trips the typical student might take. What you spend on travel may be higher or lower depending on your number of trips, distance, and mode of travel.
