Ask real questions like, "What are the tuition and fees?"
The academic year budget or, cost of attendance, for 2011-2012 includes direct expenses, or actual costs, for which Columbia College Chicago will bill you, such as tuition, registration and related fees (individual class fees will vary), and room and board (if you live on campus). Also included in this budget are estimated costs for indirect expenses, such as books, supplies, personal expenses, travel, and off-campus rent and food associated with attending Columbia College.
Dollar amounts other than tuition and fees are based upon a combination of federal regulations and cost surveys. We use a standard budget for financial aid purposes to ensure equitable distribution of resources. Some students will spend more than our estimates, and others will spend less. Use the budget in a realistic fashion dependent upon your particular circumstances.
The budget also serves as a ceiling for borrowing. Students and families may not borrow or receive funds in excess of their academic year budget. In determining how much you may borrow in a private loan, please subtract any other financial aid/loans that are already included in your award notification package.
