Cost of Attendance

The cost of education includes several components. The cost calculated by the Financial Aid Office is based on averaged and actual costs from reported data, survey data and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. Your student account is your best and most accurate statement of direct educational expenses. You can find your student account and your estimated cost of education by logging into TitanWeb.

Tuition - Tuition is based on full time enrollment, or 12 credits as an Undergraduate and 9 credits as a Graduate student. The full tuition cost includes segregated fees and is billed on a semester basis.
Books and Supplies - The estimate of books and supplies is based on average cost for Undergraduate and Graduate students. Your actual costs may be more or less than the average costs based on your course requirements.
Room and Board - There are two housing costs factored into the cost of education. Students living with parents are considered commuter students. Students living on and off campus will have housing costs calculated that equal the average of the on campus housing for the year.Food is also calculated differently for commuter and on and off campus students. The cost is updated each year based on the projected increase in the university food services costs.
Personal - This area is a catch all for those day to day living expenses that don't fall into any other category. Included are items such as clothing, medical, recreational expenses, toiletries, and insurance.
Transportation - The transportation allowance is roughly based on trips to school with standard course load.
