2013-2014 Cost of Attendance
The Cost of Attendance (COA) is determined annually by the Office of Student Financial Aid and Enrollment Services and is based on the average costs a student will incur for each semester. The COA includes average tuition and fee costs, a book allowance, a room and board allowance (on-campus, off-campus and at-home), transportation, and personal/miscellaneous expenses. Your COA will be determined by your housing plans and your expected enrollment. Please remember that your COA may be higher than your actual direct cost at UTSA. For example, if you are living at home with your parents, you will only be required to pay tuition and fees and incur book costs as your direct charges. Please see the chart below for the components of the various Cost of Attendance budgets at UTSA. We encourage you to visit the following link for additional information about creating a budget and managing your money while in college to avoid financial shortfalls: http://utsa.edu/moneymatters/.
