A: Transportation costs are not actual charges that you will see on you student account. Financial Aid uses standardized budgets to create a student’s Cost of Attendance (COA). The COA includes all of the things that a student possibly needs to go to school including: tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation costs, and other miscellaneous costs. These are estimated direct and indirect costs that are included in your COA so that our office can offer you financial aid to cover those expenses. The indirect costs will not appear on your student account, where as your direct costs will.
