Architecture, Planning, and Preservation Cost of Attendance
Budget for the Academic Year
The cost of attendance, also known as the "budget" or "COA," represents the student's maximum financial aid eligibility amount based on the length of the academic year. The budget is determined by the school and consists of tuition and fees plus estimated expenses for food, housing, books, transit, and other needs.
In determining the budget, the school applies a conservative estimate of living expenses to all students. We recognize, however, that actual living expenses vary from person to person. If the student faces higher actual costs or has extenuating circumstances that warrant a higher cost of attendance, the student may request an evaluation for a budget increase. This process does not guarantee that a budget increase will be granted, merely that the student will be considered for one.
