Cost of Attendance


The Cost of Attendance (COA) is the amount the University of the District of Columbia estimates that it will cost for you to attend. Estimated costs include: tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, transportation, health insurance, and personal expenses. The COA is designed to be a reasonable projection of cost in order to help students and parents plan accordingly. This figure is also used to determine your financial aid package.  Your total aid package may not exceed your cost of attendance. Should your expenses exceed the estimates provided below, please contact the Office of Financial Aid to discuss your circumstances.


The COA does not reflect what you are expected to pay the University of the District of Columbia as charges will vary from student to student. Please review the tuition and fee schedule or your MyUDC Account at my.UDC.edu to determine your individual tuition and fees.
