Estimated Cost of Attendance (COA)


Cost of attendance (COA) is an average figure used to determine your financial aid eligibility. It includes estimates of standard expenses such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, room, board, and personal expenses such as unreimbursed medical/dental expenses, clothing, and transportation. Cost of Attendance minus the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from your FAFSA equals your financial need for need-based financial aid programs.


Your COA is not a bill and is provided for planning purposes only. Your actual student bill will differ from the estimated COA figures presented below, which include both direct (i.e. billable) costs and indirect costs for two semesters. Tuition, fees, room (for on-campus residents), and board (for students with meal plans) are the only costs for which students are billed by Lock Haven University. Books, supplies, and other costs (including off-campus living expenses) are not billed by the university and will vary for each student.


Estimated cost of attendance budgets for 2013-2014 (two semesters of enrollment) are shown below. Please note that these figures are estimated subject to change .  A ctual tuition, fee, room, and board fee rates for the 2013-2014 academic year will not be available until July.
