Cost of Education or Attendance

The total amount it will cost a student to go to school for the academic year. It includes tuition and fees, room and board (or housing and food for off-campus students), and allowances for books, supplies, transportation and miscellaneous expenses. The financial aid administrator at the school can increase the cost of education to allow for certain unusual expenses – such as medical expenses, child care costs, etc. – at the student's request. Documentation may be required.
