Cost-of-Attendance
The cost of attendance represents a school's best estimate of the costs a student will incur during a specified period of enrollment, such as an academic year or a semester.
Institutional Costs
Institutional costs are items which have a fixed cost and are usually charged by the school to the student. Examples of Institutional costs are Tuition and fees and Student Health Insurance.
Non-institutional Costs
Non-institutional costs are not set by the school, but are driven by local market conditions, reflecting costs and availability of goods and services in the surrounding community. Non-institutional costs also vary based on a school's location. Examples of Non-institutional costs include books and supplies, transportation, personal expenses, off-campus housing and meals, utilities, dependent care, and health care.
How costs are set. A school sets non-institutional costs by collecting and analyzing data from various sources as well as monitoring trends in cost fluctuations.
