Cost of Attendence / Net Price Calculator

The estimated educational costs noted below are based upon Statewide and regional expenses for all students. These include tuition/fees, books/supplies, living expenses (food and housing), transportation, and personal expenses. Additional costs such as dependent care, disability, or study abroad expenses can also be included.  Please contact your home college's financial aid office.

Tuition, books, supplies, and equipment costs are adjusted based on the enrollment status of each student and could affect a student’s Pell Grant eligibility, particularly for less-than-half-time students. Students should contact their home college's financial aid office if they have any questions or determine if their cost of attendance can be adjusted due to allowable special circumstances.

Net Price Calculator

This calculator is intended to provide estimated net price information (defined as estimated cost of attendance – including tuition and required fees, books and supplies, room and board (meals), and other related expenses – minus estimated grant and scholarship aid) to current and prospective students and their families based on what similar students paid in a previous year.

By clicking below, I acknowledge that the estimate provided using this calculator does not represent a final determination, or actual award, of financial assistance, or a final net price; it is an estimate based on cost of attendance and financial aid provided to students in a previous year. Cost of attendance and financial aid availability change year to year. The estimates shall not be binding on the Secretary of Education, the institution of higher education, or the State.

Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be eligible for, and receive, an actual financial aid award that includes Federal grant, loan, or work-study assistance. For more information on applying for Federal student aid, go to https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
