Other Expenses

Students can expect to incur additional expenses for books and supplies ($600-$1000 per year), transportation, and personal and miscellaneous items. These expenses vary, depending on personal circumstances. Items such as clothing, entertainment, telephone calls, travel, etc. need to be considered.

Study Abroad Expenses

Students participating in a University recognized and sponsored Study Abroad program can request that their Cost of Attendance for the Study Abroad term be reviewed. Should those educational expenses exceed those incurred in a typical on campus term, a student's Demonstrated Financial Need may increase. An increase in this Cost of Attendance will not increase the student's eligibility for grants, scholarships or other campus-based funds. It may, however, enable the student to borrow additional funds through the Stafford Student Loan program, the Parent PLUS program or other alternative loan sources.

In order for these expenses to be reviewed, please complete the Cost of Attendance Increase for Study Abroad form and return it with the appropriate documentation to the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid.

Funds available to students who are recipients of University sponsored tuition or tuition, room and board scholarships will be revised for the term or terms spent abroad. The tuition scholarship amount will be limited to the current per term School of Arts and Sciences, Pennsylvania tuition rate, adjusted annually for students who first enroll September 2008 or later. The room and board portion will be limited to the amount charged for a standard double on-campus room and a typical meal plan.

Computer Purchase Expenses

Students who purchase a computer may be eligible to have an increase made to their Cost of Attendance. For each school year, purchases made after April 15 (prior to the start of the fall term) will be considered and receipts must be provided. Receipts must clearly indicate that a computer was purchased and when. Students should expect to pay between $1500 - $3000 for the computer and related hardware. The Financial Aid Office will limit the total amount of the cost of attendance adjustment to $3000.

In order for these expenses to be reviewed, please complete the Cost of Attendance Increase for Computer Purchase Expenses form and return it with the appropriate documentation to the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid.
