2023 – 2024 STUDENT BUDGETS
Cost of Attendance (COA) is the amount it will cost a student to go to school. COA includes not only direct expenses like tuition and fees, but also indirect expenses like books, course materials, living expenses like housing and food, transportation expenses, the cost of obtaining your first professional licensure as required by your program and other miscellaneous expenses. A full-time student budget will be used by the Financial Aid Office to calculate the estimated need for students expected to enroll for two academic terms. Additional budget allowances for handicap costs ($1,200) will be made for students who apply and do not have such costs covered by outside agencies. Nursing and Respiratory Care students will be provided with an additional allowance ($3,000) for uniforms and travel. Out-of-state students will receive an additional budget allowance for tuition of $5,602 ($8,004 for 11 months).
