Understanding Cost of Attendance

Your individual cost of attendance is determined by your academic status, residency status, expected housing status and program of study. It starts with Auburn's per-credit-hour tuition and fees. However, your actual AU billing statement will depend on your class schedule, your major, and your housing and dining choices. Indirect expenses may include books and supplies, off campus housing, transportation, and personal expenses. Financial aid can assist in covering many of these costs.
