Tuition & Fees
Cost of Attendance
The Cost of Attendance (COA) is the cornerstone of establishing a student’s financial need, as it sets a limit on the total aid that a student may receive. The COA is not the bill that you get; it is the total amount it will cost you to go to college each year. It includes billed and non-billed expenses and is based on the length of the period of enrollment.
The total Cost of Attendance includes direct expenses for which you are billed, such as tuition and fees, as well as estimates and allowances for indirect expenses such as room, board, books, supplies, transportation, and incidental and personal expenses.
This comprehensive cost figure is used when processing financial aid applications and educational loans to ensure that a realistic and reasonable allowance is made for all expenses.
During a given period of enrollment, a student is not allowed to receive a total amount of student aid (including scholarships, grants, federal student loans, private student loans, and Federal Work-Study) that exceeds that student’s Cost of Attendance.
