Cost of Attendance

The Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of what it costs a student to attend the University of the Potomac for one academic year. The cost of attendance estimate doesn’t include just tuition. It also takes into account basic living and commuting expenses. The actual amount you pay, and the amounts it costs you for one academic year will differ from the cost of attendance. The cost of attendance is broken up into two types of cost; direct and indirect costs.

• Direct costs are items that will appear on your university bill, which includes tuition and fees. This is the cost of an education at the University of the Potomac.
• Indirect costs will not appear on your bill, but are estimated costs associated with going to college and should be included in your budget. These include items like books, transportation, food, and personal/miscellaneous expenses.
