Cost of Attendance

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

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.)
