Cost of Attendance 2023-24

Each aid applicant is assigned a cost of attendance which is an estimate of all costs associated with enrollment.

The cost of attendance is determined by a combination of factors, including enrollment, housing plans, and dependency status. The cost of attendance includes charges for tuition and fees which are directly billed by the University, as well as indirect costs such as transportation and books. Indirect costs are the student's responsibility and do not appear on the University's tuition bill.

Be sure to consider all costs, both direct and indirect, when you make your financial plan. Please be advised that tuition normally increases annually.

All costs shown are estimates. Your actual costs may be different.
