The Cost of Attendance (COA) is the school’s estimate of a student’s total costs while enrolled, also known as the student’s “budget.” It determines the maximum aid a student can receive for the academic year and includes both billable (direct) costs, like tuition and fees, and non-billable (indirect) costs, such as transportation and personal expenses.
COA adjustments may be made on a case-by-case basis with documentation of higher actual expenses. Below is the estimated COA for the two-semester academic year, varying by college and program of study.
