TheÌýfour possible enrollment statuses are 12 or more credits, 9 to 11 credits, 6 to 8 credits, andÌý1 to 5 credits.ÌýWhen initial award offers are made it is assumed that undergraduates will be enrolled in 12 or more credits each semester. The COA is adjusted to reflect a student's actual enrollment status during the final review process.
An In-State student's Cost of Attendance (COA) is made up of two different types of costs:ÌýdirectÌýandÌýindirect. The costs listed below are for a typicalÌýacademic year (fall semester and spring semester).ÌýThe housing and meals cost reflects living in university residence halls and having a university dining plan.
Direct costsÌýare items that will appear on the University bills, such as tuition, fees, books, and housing and meals (if living on campus).
Indirect costsÌýwill not appear on the bill but are estimated costs associated with going to college and should be included in the budget. These include items like transportation and personal expenses.
