Cost of Attendance Components

Standard budgets have been established by the Financial Aid Office to help determine eligibility for aid. The financial aid budget does not reflect what you will be billed by SECON. The cost of attendance includes, tuition, fees, housing and food, books and supplies, transportation, loan fees and personal expenses.

 

*Tuition and Fees - This cost is based on full-time attendance with the tuition rate established by SECON.  Fees include those mandatory fees charged to all students. Tuition charges billed to the student will be based on actual enrollment.

 

Books and Supplies - The Financial Office develops a reasonable estimate of books and supplies based on the cost to each student by semesters.

 

Living Expenses & Fees - This is an indirect cost that has a median allowance assessed for living expenses.

 

  1. The housing and food portion of your budget is an allocation for expenses you will experience either on or off campus for rent and food related expenses. This allocation remains a part of your financial aid cost of attendance regardless of your living arrangements.
  2. The transportation expenses cover costs related to travel back and forth to campus and clinical sites. Personal expenses can include average costs for medical and child care.
  3. Loan Fees - Average cost of fees charged for Federal Direct Loans.

 

The budgets are not intended to meet everybody’s full financial responsibilities; rather, they are average costs for students during an academic year.
