The financial aid letter will provide a breakdown of the anticipated costs for the year, or the Cost of Attendance, minus the financial aid that has been awarded. The estimated direct cost is the cost for tuition, housing, and meals after all offered scholarships, grants, and loans. Other listed expenses - textbooks, travel, and personal expenses - are estimates based on the average student. Actual amounts may vary.
A billing statement is created for each fall semester and spring semester, and are typically sent out about a month prior to the billing due date. To calculate the amount for your billing statement for each semester, first divide the costs and financial aid on your award letter by two to receive a semester amount. You may follow the formula below:
Enrollment deposits are added as a credit to the first billing statement generated for your account, which will reduce the balance due.
