Other Costs to Consider
Books/Supplies
You will likely need to purchase books, supplies, and computer software during your time as a student. This expense varies depending on the accessibility and stature of local libraries and your personal needs. We estimate that the average full-time student spends $150/course for this category.
Additional Considerations for Calculating Financial Aid
The Financial Aid Office provides an annual cost of education (or cost of attendance) budget for each of the financial aid eligible academic programs. This budget is used to calculate need eligibility for certain federal student aid and scholarship funds. It also provides a cap for maximum allowable aid.
In addition to the costs listed above, the budget includes standard estimates of $1,000/month for room, $500/month for board, and $100/month for personal expenses. Significant cost increases due to individual circumstances, such as disabilities, dependent care, or computer purchase may be considered on an individual basis.
