FINANCIAL AID COST OF ATTENDANCE

Effective July 1, 2023 The Department of Education requires institutions to publish the Cost of Attendance (COA) used to determine a financial aid recipient’s financial aid award offer.  The chart below outlines the Cost of Attendance (COA) by student type and living arrangements that is used by Lewis University to determine financial aid eligibility.  The Cost of Attendance (COA) provides an estimate of both direct and indirect educational expenses, establishes financial need and sets the limit on financial aid eligibility.  It is also important to understand the difference between direct and indirect costs.  Direct costs are those items that are charged to your university student account such as tuition, fees, housing and meal plans.  Indirect costs are those expenses that are not charged to your university student account such as books and supplies, gas to commute to campus, and personal living expenses.

The Cost of Attendance (COA) includes the following components:

  • Tuition and fees
  • Books, course materials, supplies and equipment
  • Living expenses - Housing and food
  • Transportation
  • Miscellaneous or personal expenses

It could also include if appropriate:

  • First professional license or credential
  • Study abroad
  • Dependent care costs
  • Disability-related expenses
  • Cooperative education

±·´Ç³Ù±ð:Ìý Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ will review student’s Cost of Attendance if a unique or special circumstance exists outside the standard COA components.  This is referred to as Professional Judgment.
