The Cost of Attendance is an estimate of your educational expenses for each period of enrollment. It establishes average costs for different categories of students (i.e. full time vs. part time, in-state tuition vs. out of state tuition, etc) and is the cornerstone for determining your financial need for "need-based" grants, loans, and work-study. It also sets a limit on the total federal aid that you may receive as a student.

For information on 萝莉社 University's tuition and fees, visit the Tuition and Fees website. Official tuition and fee rates are set by the Kansas Board of Regents.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cost of Attendance

In order to practice in my chosen field, I need to pay for a professional licensure exam during my final semester. Is this included in the estimates for my cost of attendance?

*Professional Licensure: If your program of study leads to a career field that requires professional licensure to be gainfully employed, you may have additional costs for that licensure. Follow up with your academic program to learn more about when you will need to obtain your licensure and what costs will be associated with obtaining the licensure.

For Accelerated Nursing and the Statewide Nursing Pathway programs, your examination and licensure expenses are estimated in your cost of attendance during your final year. If you are not in one of these programs but will have licensure or certification costs associated with being able to work in your chosen degree field - and you will incur these costs during your final semester, you may request these costs be added to your cost of attendance. Schedule an appointment with a financial aid advisor to discuss your options. Note that inclusion of a cost in your cost of attendance does not guarantee eligibility for additional financial aid.
