How is tuition cost calculated?
Tuition is calculated per contact hour, or the total hours per week of scheduled classroom, lab, and clinical instruction time.
There are various components to calculating your college costs for each semester. Definitions for each component follow the Tuition and Fee Calculator below. The calculator produces an estimated cost. Actual costs will be calculated at the time of registration.

Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimated amount of expenses a student may incur to attend college for one year. This is broken down by indirect costs and direct costs.
- Direct costs are those paid directly to the college and include tuition and fees.
- Indirect costs are educational costs not paid directly to the college. They can include books and supplies, transportation costs and personal expenses.
- Housing and food may be considered either a direct cost (if you're living on campus) or an indirect cost (if you're living off campus).
