Cost of Attendance

2023 – 2024 Award Calculation and Estimated Financial Aid Cost of Attendance Budgets

To determine Financial Need, the Student Finance Office calculates the student’s Cost of Attendance (COA) and subtracts from that amount the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). To determine need for aid from State and Federal Programs, the school must first consider other Resources or Additional Financial Assistance the student expects to receive.
 

Terms Defined

Academic Year. 9 month (Fall & Spring)

Misc Personal Expenses:  Figure includes expenses based on student survey responses for phone, clothing, insurance licensure fees (based on actual licensure fees), federal loan fees (average loan fees from 2022/2023) and entertainment.   

Every year the Student Finance Office determines a cost of attendance that estimates average costs of tuition, fees, housing and food, books and other expenses.  Budgets on based on student's residency, enrollment and academic level.  Your financial aid cost of attendance is the maximum amount of financial aid you can receive for the academic year.

This chart includes tuition and fees that will be on your tuition account but it also lists expenses such as books, transportation and uniforms.  The other indirect costs are estimated based on a bi-annual survey the student complete.  Financial aid administrators use cost of attendance to award financial aid.  Your billing statement will not include the estimated indirect costs in the tables listed below.

It is the student's responsibility to notify the student finance office of any scholarships or additional financial aid not listed on their financial aid notification.
