Graduate and Post-Bachelor’s Cost of Attendance
Cost of Attendance
The cost of attendance is used to determine your eligibility for need-based financial aid from Assumption University. It is based on the cost for a full-time Assumption graduate student who is enrolled in at least 2 courses (4.5 credits) per semester. It includes:
- Direct costs: those expenses billed directly to you from Assumption
- Indirect costs: those expenses not billed to you, but which you may incur.
If you drop below full-time or change your residency status, your cost of attendance will be recalculated, thus impacting your financial aid eligibility.
The Cost of Attendance does vary from program to program and year to year.
