Knowing the cost of attendance can help you budget and better plan the financing of your education. The costs are an average for an academic year (fall and spring). Our office takes the cost of attendance into consideration, along with your financial need, when awarding grants, and federal student and parent loans. The combination of any federal, state and institutional aid, as well as any outside scholarships, cannot exceed the cost of attendance.
