Tuition and Fees
Traditional Undergraduate Cost of Attendance (COA)
The COA is used by the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid to determine a student’s financial aid offer. The COA includes direct costs (those which appear on the student invoice, including tuition, housing, food, and fees) and indirect costs (including transportation, books, course materials, and so on).
Your direct and indirect costs could vary from the COA based upon housing and meal plan choices as well as other individual factors.
