Indirect Costs
In addition to tuition and fees owed directly to Ashford University, you may incur other costs while you are pursuing your education which will not be billed by the University. The indirect costs that are part of the cost of attendance include books and supplies, room and board (these are paid directly to the University for students living on campus), transportation, and personal expenses as well as loan fees, if applicable. These costs of attendance are based on estimates based on moderate standards of living using College Board, Living Expense Budget 2011. Each student's Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is subtracted from standard costs of attendance to determine a student's financial need for purposes of packaging financial aid. An estimate of the allowance for these costs for an academic year (AY) is as follows:
| AU Traditional (On Campus) |
AU Traditional (Off Campus) |
AU Traditional (Dependent Living with Parent) | |
| Books and supplies | $1,150 | $1,150 | $1,150 |
| Room and board | $6,000 (direct cost) |
$8,375 | $2,513 |
| Transportation | $1,604 | $3,208 | $3,208 |
| Personal | $4,366 | $6,237 | $4,366 |
If you have any exceptional expenses, such as dependent care or disability expenses, that would require modifications to the standard cost of attendance budget, please contact your finance planner. Please be prepared to provide documentation when you make your request for a modification.
