Cost of Attendance (COA) includes tuition and fees, housing, food, books and supplies, transportation, and other miscellaneous/personal expenses.  COA is an estimate of school related expenses students can expect to have for the academic year, or semester enrollment.

Direct Cost of Attendance: An estimate based on the actual cost of tuition and fees that will appear on your tuition and fee summary of the current academic year. (Example: tuition and fees, housing, etc.)

Indirect Cost of Attendance: An estimated cost associated with attending college but are not included in your tuition and fee summary. (Example: cost of books, transportation, personal expenses, etc.)

Direct Cost + Indirect Cost = Cost of Attendance
