COST OF ATTENDANCE INFORMATION
The cost of attendance (COA) represents the estimated amount it will cost the student to go to school for an academic year. The Financial Aid Office uses the COA to determine the amount of financial aid for which the student is eligible. The components of the COA are reviewed annually using current institutional costs and Living Expense Budget Information published by the College Board as a reference. The Financial Aid Office, once it awards financial aid, will send students a financial aid offer that will include details of the costs of attendance used to determine eligibility for the academic year.
COA includes an estimate of direct and indirect costs. Direct costs such as: tuition and fees are detailed above. Indirect costs such as: food and housing, estimated cost of books, course materials, supplies and equipment, transportation, loan fees, and miscellaneous personal expenses are detailed below. Please note that COA for students who attend less than half-time, does not include miscellaneous personal expenses.
