For your convenience, we have developed this interactive worksheet to help you plan your college expenses. Full-time fixed billable charges for tuition and student benefit fees are included. Add residence hall/meal plan and insurance charges, if applicable. Please note that insurance charges are current estimates, exact amounts may vary. Books are not included in billable charges, although you may want to budget $200 -$500 per semester as an estimate. If you are attending one semester only, take 1/2 the fixed charges but include the entire insurance charges, if needed. The difference between the charges and aid is the amount owed to the University. A negative number indicates you may receive a refund. For questions regarding your financial aid awards, contact the Financial Aid Office at 800-755-5200, ext. 4.
This is an estimate only. Actual amounts may vary due to loan fees, course fees, tuition rates, etc.
