2018-2019 Cost of Attendance
Student Expense Budgets
Each college or university determines an estimate of how much it will cost to attend school. An estimated cost of attendance (COA) is designed to assist students with their educational expenses for the academic year.
An estimated cost of attendance includes direct and indirect costs. Direct costs include charges a student pays directly to the college, for example, tuition and fees. Indirect costs include expenses the student will likely incur but will not pay directly to the college. Transportation is an example of an indirect cost.
Each student's cost of attendance is based upon full-time enrollment and residency. After the drop and add period each semester, the cost of attendance will be reduced to reflect less than full-time enrollment.
The following budgets are those typically used to calculate the financial need of students with the characteristics indicated below. Adjustments to these typical budgets are made to reflect special needs of different individual students. Other typical budgets and additional information about student expense budgets and aid received by students may be obtained from: Student Financial Aid & Veterans Affairs Services Center, Ft. McIntosh Campus (956) 721-5361 or South Campus (956) 794-4361.
