Estimated COST of ATTENDANCE Budgets
The Financial Aid Office recognizes that it costs more to attend college than just the direct costs for Tuition/Fees and Room/Board (for those students contracting with the university to live in the dorms or campus apartments), Books/Supplies and Tablet PC rental. As a result, Estimated Cost of Attendance Budgets (ECOA) are developed to also take into account discretionary expenses for Transportation and Miscellaneous Personal Expenses that a student may incur over the course of the academic year. Keep this in mind when you look at information provided by the Admissions Office; they are primarily providing to you direct costs. The exact amount of your ECOA will depend on whether you are attending full or part time, living on or off campus or with your parents and whether you are a graduate or undergraduate student.
The ECOA Budgets are based solely on the educational expenses related to the attendance of the student. Any adjustments to the ECOA Budgets for such things as dependent care expenses (for example, daycare) are made on a case-by-case basis and at the discretion of the Financial Aid Office professional staff.
Our Business Office has provided a link below for further information on the tuition and fee schedule for the coming year and a desciption of each item.
The following ECOA Budgets are used by the School of Mines Financial Aid Office for awarding all types of Federal Student Aid (grants, loans and work-study) for the 2011-2012 academic year (August 29, 2011 to May 4, 2012). Students who wish to be considered for summer Federal Student Aid need to contact the Financial Aid Office. The ECOA for summer is based upon the number of summer sessions you are attending and the number of credit hours you will be enrolled in. Therefore, no attempt is made here to provide all possible scenarios for summer.
