Transfer - B.A. Cost of Attendance for 2008/2009

We use an annual Cost of Attendance (COA) budget to determine your financial aid eligibility. The COA budget includes expenses which are billed directly by CU (e.g. tuition as well as room and board if you live on campus), and other expenses that are not billed by CU, but are directly related to attending school (e.g. books and supplies, transportation, personal expenses and off-campus living expenses).

Full-time Cost of Attendance Budget for Bachelor of Arts Program
Tuition $21,800
Average Student Activity Fee and Course-related Fees $300
Average Room and Board $6,400
Average Books and Supplies $800
Transportation $600
Personal $1,600
Total $31,500

Students who are considered "independent" on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid receive an increased allowance for Room and Board expenses. Additional consideration can be given for child care costs, computer purchase, and other specific educationally-related expenses if adequate documentation is provided.
