Can my estimated cost of attendance (Student Budget) be adjusted or increased?
Your student budget is developed using an actual tuition and fee charges and an estimated of the costs of attending Columbia for either an academic year or a term. We recognize that students’ needs are different and therefore your budget may need to be adjusted. If you have a need to have your student budget adjusted you must first check with the representative in your school. If the representative finds the increase appropriate he/she will then direct you to Student Financial Planning.
