Cost of Attendance

Cost of attendance (COA) is an estimated figure used by colleges and universities to determine the total cost of attending their institution for one academic year. Financial Aid uses the cost of attendance to determine eligibility for federal, state and institutional aid programs. Generally, a student’s financial aid award cannot exceed the cost of attendance. See the Financial Aid How to Apply page for more information.

Additional Expenses

Additional expenses not charged by the University that may vary from student to student include rent and utilities, meals and transportation expenses.

Students are not expected to incur additional expenses related to clinical rotation travel, as most clinical sites are within the Central Florida region.
