Cost of Attendance

The cost of attendance for graduate students is based on each individual's course load. For this reason, loan eligibility is not calculated until the enrollment period begins. Each student has a budget based upon actual direct costs (tuition and fees). An estimated book allowance is also included.

Students who are taking courses on campus are eligible for a modest allowance for living expenses, depending on course load. Students taking only online and/or self-paced classes are not eligible for living expenses.

Credit hours cannot be used for more than one enrollment period, and classes that are repeated are not eligible for additional financial aid.
