GRADUATE ESTIMATED COST OF ATTENDANCE (USD)
The Estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of an average student's expenses while studying at JCU for one semester or a year. The COA includes both direct & indirect costs and is not the bill you receive from JCU.
- Direct costs: billable charges, such as tuition & fees (minus financial aid), JCU housing (optional) and JCU meal plan (optional).
- Indirect costs: non-billable expenses associated with attending JCU, such as private housing, books, personal expenses & airfare.
Your actual expenses may be higher or lower than the COA depending on your personal budget and spending habits.
