The cost of attendance (COA) is used by the Office of Financial Aid to determine a student’s financial aid offer. The COA includes actual Direct Costs and estimated Indirect Costs. Direct Costs appear on the student invoice-- tuition, housing (on campus), food (college meal plan) and fees. Indirect Costs (not billed by the college but paid by the student throughout the Academic Year) are made up of transportation, books, course materials, supplies, equipment, loan fees, and miscellaneous expenses.
Actual Direct Costs you are billed for could be different from our stated cost of attendance based upon housing and meal plan choices and any additional charges you may have. Indirect Costs could be higher or lower depending on your individual circumstances.
