Understanding your Cost of Attendance

Cost of Attendance (COA) is the estimated total expenses a student should anticipate having while attending college for an academic year. All schools are required to have a Cost of Attendance that includes both billable charges that you will see on your billing statement from the school (i.e. tuition, fees, housing (resident students only), meal plan), and non-billable estimated expenses that are not paid to the school (i.e. transportation, living expenses, off-campus rent (commuter students only)).

  • Estimated non-billable expenses are included in a school's Cost of Attendance to allow students to borrow and receive financial aid to assist with those educational expenses if needed.

Your Cost of Attendance (COA) at Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ is determined by, and may change, based on several factors:

  • Housing Status - Living in on-campus housing (resident student), off-campus housing (commuter student), or at home with parents or relatives (commuter student).
  • Enrollment Level:
    • Undergraduate Students - 12+ credits per semester (full-time), 11 or less credits per semester (part-time).
    • Graduate Students - 9+ credits per semester (full-time), 8 or less credits per semester (part-time).
  • Field of Study - Sands College of Performing Arts, College of Health Professions, Lubin School of Business, etc.
    • Each school/program may have different associated fees.

Any changes in your Cost of Attendance may impact your financial aid offers.
