Cost to Attend UMD

Each academic year, the Office of Financial Aid and Registrar establishes standard student budgets that use cost of attendance (COA) estimates for awarding financial aid funds. The budgets, which are based on research reflecting typical "modest but adequate" expense patterns for students, consist of two basic components:

  • Direct educational costs–tuition, fees, books and supplies
  • Indirect (maintenance) costs–room and board, transportation, miscellaneous personal expenses

Some students will spend more than the standards amounts, while others will spend less, depending on individual lifestyles and circumstances. Eligibility for financial aid, however, will be based on the standard budget allowances, not on individual preferences and spending habits. COA figures vary according to students' residency status, college of enrollment, and degree program.
