Cost of Attendance (COA) establishes the limit of the total financial aid that you may receive. If you’re attending school at least half-time, the COA is the estimate of:

• Tuition and fees.
• Books, course materials, supplies, and equipment.
• Cost of housing and food (or living expenses).
• Transportation expenses.
• Loan fees (excluding any loan fees for non-federal student loans).
• Miscellaneous expenses (including a reasonable amount for the documented cost of a personal computer).
• Allowance for childcare or other dependent care.
• Costs related to a disability.
• Costs of obtaining a license, certification, or a first professional credential, and boards.
