Financial Aid - Cost of Attendance

If you're attending at least half time, your cost of attendance is the sum of

• your actual tuition and fees (or the school's average tuition and fees)
• the cost of room and board (or living expenses for students who do not contract with the school for room and board)
• the cost of books, supplies, transportation, loan fees,and miscellaneous expenses (including a reasonable amount for the documented cost of a personal computer)
• an allowance for dependent care
• costs related to a disability
• reasonable costs for eligible study-abroad programs.

Costs unrelated to the completion of a student's course of study are not included in calculating that student's cost of attendance.
