Cost of attendance (or financial aid budget) is a combination of direct expenses (such as tuition and fees) and indirect expenses (such as books and personal expenses) that a student will have. Each student鈥檚 actual expenses may vary, but cost of attendance provides an estimate of the cost of attending 海角社区 for an academic year.

Cost of attendance is determined using a formula established by the U.S. Congress. All expenses are for the nine-month school year (with the exception of P2 and P4 pharmacy students who have a longer academic year). The costs are subject to change without notice.

Calculating Financial Aid

The office of financial aid uses average budgets to calculate financial aid. Average budgets are based on a student's anticipated average enrollment. A student cannot receive more than the cost of attendance from any combination of institutional, federal, state, or private funding source. This includes merit and need-based aid as well as tuition remission, VA benefits and ROTC awards.

Average enrollment is based on semester credits and is outlined below.
