budget

Cost of attendance helps the Office of Student Financial Services determine the amount of financial aid each student is eligible to receive; the Office of Student Financial Services determines a cost of attendance for each academic program. The cost of attendance is our estimation of what it could cost a student to live and go to school for the Fall and Spring semesters. The cost of attendance budget is for the individual student, not for a family.
The budget is reviewed each year and altered as needed. The cost of attendance is the maximum amount of financial aid that a student can receive per academic year.

Financial aid for the summer semester may include Federal Stafford loans, a Graduate PLUS loan or a private/alternative loan.
