Estimated Cost of Attendance
Each year, the Office of Financial Aid determines a budget/cost of attendance that projects estimated average costs for tuition, fees, housing and food, books, and other expenses. Budgets are used to represent student differences with regards to residency, enrollment, and academic level. The undergraduate budgets below are based on full-time enrollment. The Graduate and Doctoral budgets below are based on tuition charged for 12 credits.
Actual tuition costs for the 2025 - 2026 academic year will be set at the Board of Regents meeting later this year.
Your financial aid budget also acts as the maximum amount of financial aid you can utilize for the academic year. If your overall out-of-pocket educational expenses exceed the amount listed in your budget on your My.Emich, please Contact Us
The estimated Cost of Attendance for the 2024 - 2025 academic year can be found here.
