The cost of attendance (COA) varies by academic year. The COA is the total amount it may cost for a full-time resident student to attend ��ý��Ƶ��ƹۿ� during a specified period of enrollment. This information is very useful for financial planning purposes and for securing loans, if necessary. The COA includes two types of related educational expenses, direct and indirect. Direct costs are the costs for which a student will be billed by the Office of the Bursar. These costs include, but are not limited to, tuition, room/board and fees. Indirect costs will not be billed, but may be incurred as expenses while attending ��ý��Ƶ��ƹۿ�. These costs can include books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses.

Direct Expenses and Indirect Expenses are two vital parts of the "Cost of Attendance" or budget. All financial aid packages are developed using a cost of attendance. Direct expenses are charges that a student will incur on their billing statement from the Bursar's Office. Indiret Expenses are other costs that a student will incur on their own while attending ��ý��Ƶ��ƹۿ�. The amounts factored into the Indirect Expenses are only averages of what a student may spend.
Tuition is based on a student's anticipated full-time enrollment. If a student fails to enroll full time, their financial aid may be forfeited. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid at finaid@fairfield.edu or 203-254-4125 for further assistance.
Housing cost based on cost of on-campus housing and food charges are based on a 3 meal a day plan. Changes may vary depending on the type of housing the student is assigned.
Housing and food allowance for a student who lives with their parents is estimated $8,600 for housing and $7,800 for food, and is considered an indirect expense.
"Books/CM/Supp/Equip" means books/class materials/supplies/equipment.
