Cost of Attendance for 2024-2025

The Cost of Attendance (COA) provides an estimate of educational expenses, establishes financial need in relation to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and sets the limit for the maximum amount of financial aid that can be received. The COA represents the sum of estimated directly billed charges and allowances for indirect educational expenses.

  • Directly billed charges include: tuition, fees, housing and food if on campus.
  • Indirect educational allowances include: books, course materials, supplies, and equipment, transportation costs, miscellaneous personal expenses, and living expenses for students not in University housing.

The COA is the maximum total of all forms of financial aid (including educational loans) that may be used for the fall and spring semesters. The COA below is assuming full-time enrollment and would be prorated based on a student’s term enrollment in Title IV eligible credits.
