The Office of Financial Aid uses a “standard cost of attendance budget” to calculate your estimated educational costs. This represents typical costs for students during the nine-month academic year based on anticipated enrollment, dependency status, and living arrangements (on-campus, off-campus or with parents).
What’s Included
- Direct costs (items charged by DePaul):
- tuition,
- fees, and
- estimated on-campus room and board.
- Indirect costs (items not paid to DePaul)*:
- books, supplies, course materials, and equipment
- off-campus housing,
- transportation, and
- personal expenses.
*These are estimates based on average expenses incurred by students in the Chicago area.
