Additional Circumstances
A cost of attendance is developed for each student. These amounts take into account tuition and fees (e.g., instate, out of state, graduate, undergraduate, part time, full time), room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses.
If you have additional expenses, we may be able to increase your cost of attendance to reflect those costs. The expenses must be educationally related and required for you to complete your program and adequate supporting documentation is required. Examples of such expenses may include:
- Computer purchase
- Dependent care expenses
- Musical instruments required by the student’s academic program
- Nursing scrubs & other medical equipment
- Unusually high expenses above the standard budget amounts
