What
is the cost of attendance (COA), how is it determined
and how much is it?
The COA is an estimated individual student’s
projected total educational expenses for a two semester
time period. The COA is also referred to as the Financial
Aid Budget.
The cost of attendance (COA) for Financial Aid purposes
is constructed by the Financial Aid Office using the
parameters of the federal guidelines. The COA includes
tuition, fees, room and board, books, transportation,
and personal expenses. This COA governs the total amount
of aid (loans and scholarships) that are available to
a student for any two semester period. This maximum
COA also applies to private loans.
We realize that students come to law school from varied
backgrounds, experiences and lifestyles, however the
COA allows for a simple lifestyle, that of a graduate
student and can not be increased to suit your desired
lifestyle.
Cost of attendance
