Cost of Attendance is a financial aid term used to determine financial need.  There are costs outside direct billable expenses that families may incur that are included in the cost of attendance. The final estimated cost of attendance for new students is available below and in your financial aid brochure. Continuing students should refer to their offer letter for the latest Cost of Attendance.

The 2025-2026 financial aid planner is now available.

Your student status and enrollment level will determine your final costs. Budgets are provided for student planning purposes only; individual student bills will vary.
