What is a “Student Budget,” or “Average Cost of Attendance?
The Student Budget is the amount the College estimates it will cost to attend college for the academic year. Costs include: tuition/fees, books and supplies, housing, meals, transportation, and personal expenses. Budgets are calculated differently for students who are independent and dependent, or who are enrolled in certain programs with costs that differ from the standard credit-hour programs or are enrolled in less than full-time hours.
