SFAS constructs yearly cost-of-attendance (COA) budgets that include tuition, fees, room & board (or living expenses), books, supplies, transportation and miscellaneous expenses (such as computers for first-time students). Additionally, your COA may include expenses related to studying abroad, additional supplies, equipment needed to accommodate a disability, or some other educational expense such as costs for childcare while you attend school. You must contact SFAS if you would like to have additional expenses considered. Documentation of each expense is required.
The tables on the next page contain the COA budgets for the 2015-2016 academic year for full-time non-architecture undergraduate and graduate students. (Architecture majors are provided $1400 more than indicated in the charts below for books & supplies allowance). For the past several academic years, tuition and room & board charges have increased between 3% and 9%. Please plan accordingly. Keep in mind that the actual cost of living on campus varies according to the room type and meal plan you choose.
