Cost of Attendance

Think of your Cost of Attendance (COA) as the starting point for figuring out how much financial help you might get for college.

It is not the bill you have to pay, but more like an estimate of all the costs for the school year, like tuition, fees, housing, and personal stuff. We use this to decide how much aid you can get, but we cannot give you more than what the COA says you will need. So, while some costs are set (like tuition), others can change based on how you live while you are in college.
