The annual cost of attendance (COA) is your actual tuition costs plus additional averaged amounts for living expenses, books, supplies, and loan fees. The total of all of your financial aid cannot exceed the cost of attendance.

2009–10 Living Expenses

Summer or J-Term tuition costs are added to fall and spring semester costs, and additional aid is offered. A minimum semester registration of 4 credits is required to use federal financial aid in that semester.

Expenses for Nine-Month Academic Year Full time Part time
Housing, Utilities, Food, Transportation, and Personal $7,200/semester $7,200/semester
Books and Supplies $775/semester $700/semester
Loan fees $700/semester $700/semester
Total for one year including loan fees $ 8,675/semester $8,600/semester

The living expense portion of the annual cost of attendance is designed to be a modest, adequate budget and is sufficient for most students. Increases to the cost of attendance can be made for reasonable child-care expenses, a one-time computer purchase of up to $2,000, unusual uninsured medical expenses, or student health insurance premiums for the months of academic enrollment. Submit the appropriate adjustment form together with the required documentation to the Financial Aid Office. In most instances, increasing the cost of attendance will result in increased eligibility for non-federal, alternative loans.

Taking care of business

William Mitchell College of Law strongly encourages prospective law students to complete and file their federal tax returns for the previous year as soon as possible after Jan. 1, so that actual income information can be used on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
