2024-2025 Western Regional Graduate Tuition Reduction Program (WRGP) Cost of Attendance (COA)
COA Breakdown
The four possible enrollment statuses are 12 or more credits, 9 to 11 credits, 6 to 8 credits, and 1 to 5 credits. When initial award offers are made it is assumed that undergraduates will be enrolled in 12 or more credits each semester. The COA is adjusted to reflect a student's actual enrollment status during the final review process.
A WRGP student's Cost of Attendance (COA) is made up of two different types of costs: direct and indirect. The costs listed below are for a typical academic year (fall semester and spring semester). The housing and meals cost reflects living in university residence halls and having a university dining plan.
Direct costs are items that will appear on the University bills, such as tuition, fees, books, and housing and meals (if living on campus).
Indirect costs will not appear on the bill but are estimated costs associated with going to college and should be included in the budget. These include items like transportation and personal expenses.
