Cost of Attendance: (2011-2012)
The Cost of Attendance includes tuition and fee costs and an estimated budget for living expenses, books and supply costs, and transportation. The Cost of Attendance is set for all students each year and actual costs may vary, depending on a student's lifestyle.

A student's total financial aid awards cannot exceed the Cost of Attendance (estimated costs for the academic year). For example, a student with tuition and fees of $10,000 and a living expense budget of $30,855, will have a total Cost of Attendance of $40,855. In this example, the student's total financial aid awards, including Stafford Loans, and other financial aid (such as grants), cannot exceed the total $40,855.
