Estimated Cost of Attendance
There are costs associated with attending college that are not included with tuition and fees. AU Student Financial Services constructs an estimated cost of attendance budget for Financial Aid purposes to help students budget for these items. The items included in the Estimated Cost of Attendance consist of tuition, books, course materials, supplies and equipment, living expenses (housing and food), personal/miscellaneous, and transportation.
Please note that items other than tuition/fees are strictly estimates and may vary greatly depending on where you are living and your personal needs. Students may not receive financial aid in excess of the Estimated Cost of Attendance.

There are two additional COA categories that would result in variances in estimated cost of attendance.

Students who fall into one of these additional categories should contact our office.
