The Financial Aid Cost of Attendance (COA) is developed to assist students with budget management while earning a degree. The COA, also referred to as a financial aid budget, reflects typical expense patterns of UB students based on research conducted by the Financial Aid Office in conjunction with the academic divisions. The maximum amount of financial aid awarded is equal to the COA for either the term or the academic year, depending on the award regulations.
You can also locate your cost of attendance on the HUB Student Center.
