Cost of Attendance
The Cost of Attendance (COA) is a federally required estimate of the total expenses associated with your academic year. It is not the amount that will appear on your bill. While many online students (especially working professionals) primarily focus on covering direct educational costs such as tuition and required fees, the COA also includes indirect expenses like books, supplies, technology, and general living costs.
Because these categories are included, the overall COA may appear higher than the amount you anticipate spending. Its purpose is to outline the maximum level of financial aid or federal loans for which you may qualify. Students are encouraged to consider their individual circumstances and borrow only what aligns with their actual educational needs.
Access funding for your legal education.
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for federal loans and determine your eligibility for need-based assistance. It takes approximately ten days for the school to receive your FAFSA report. Students are responsible for completing all necessary documents and meeting required deadlines.
