Student Budgets

All student budgets are compiled from the same set of cost elements and calculated based on the number of months the student is enrolled. Typically, undergraduate students are budgeted for the fall and spring, which represent nine months of enrollment. Graduate students are budgeted for the entire year or 12 months of enrollment.

Please keep in mind that the COA is an estimate of the costs of attending UWA, and you may see some variances based on your individual situation.  A shorter period of enrollment may result in a lower COA. Award packages may not exceed the COA for the term of enrollment.
