2020-21 RESIDENTIAL COST ESTIMATOR

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.

The interest rate will vary depending on when the loan is obtained. Any interest that accrues while the student is enrolled in school at least half-time will be paid by the Federal Government. Repayment begins once the six-month grace period has expired and a variety of repayment options exist for the student to choose from.	Subsidized Stafford Loan
