The Cost of Attendance is sometimes referred to as a student budget. This is an estimate of the total amount of your educational expenses for the period of enrollment during the Award Year and is reflected on your financial aid award letter.
The Cost of Attendance assumes full-time enrollment and will be reduced if you enroll less than full-time. The Cost of Attendance includes estimates of tuition and fees, the average cost for books, course materials, supplies, and equipment, housing, food, transportation, and miscellaneous personal expenses.
Direct costs are those billed by the University and posted to your student account. Indirect costs are estimated costs that are incurred outside of the University, such as transportation and books.
