COST OF
ATTENDANCE

Cost of Attendance

The 2025-2026 Cost of Attendance (COA) table below is used to determine eligibility for federal funding. These amounts reflect the estimated costs for a full-time dependent undergraduate student who has in-state or out-of-state residency, and is registered as a main campus student (on campus and off campus). The Direct/UA Billed Costs items are those that will be billed by and paid directly to UA. Students that live off campus are not billed for room fees by UA. The Indirect Costs items are not billed by UA; however, these amounts are estimates of expenses that a student may have while attending UA and may be included when determining eligibility for federal funding. The cost of attendance is specific to the student and used to determine federal aid eligibility. Students are able to view their specific COA on Your Financial Aid Self-Service within myBama.
