Cost of attendance (COA)

For the 2019-20 academic year (Summer 2019, Fall 2019, and Spring 2020)

Determining your cost of college

Your financial aid award (scholarships, grants, work-study and loans) is based on your estimated cost of attendance. To reduce your University of Akron tuition, your financial aid award is determined by your:

housing status,
enrollment status,
FAFSA dependency status,
and program of enrollment (e.g., Main Campus vs. Wayne, etc.).

We encourage you to research your estimated cost of college, bachelor’s degree, or graduate school so you can plan for the future. Your final cost includes financial aid, which helps reduce The University of Akron’s tuition. Find out what students like you pay on average, below.

The scenarios: The tables below show estimated/average academic year costs for students enrolled at varying degrees of enrollment status, housing status, student type, and campus location.

Actual expenses will vary due to housing choice and other factors. The total amount of financial aid offered may be more than what you need to pay your bill.

Worksheets: To help you determine your expenses and how much financial aid you will need, we have created financing worksheets for you.
