Cost of Attendance Adjustment Request Summer 2025-Spring 2026

Each school must determine a Cost of Attendance (COA) for each of its programs. A student may not receive a total amount of student aid that exceeds that student’s COA. The COA includes tuition and fees as charged by the school, as well as allowances for books, supplies, and living expenses such as rent, food, utilities, transportation, and an allowance for miscellaneous personal expenses. In some cases, a school’s financial aid office is permitted to adjust the standard COA on a case-by-case basis.
