Estimated Annual Cost of Attendance (COA) - Direct and Indirect Costs
All costs listed in your financial aid offer are estimates. Actual bills are generated by the cashier's office.
Direct Costs are billed to you through UW-Platteville. All students will have tuition and fees. You may have housing and dining as a direct cost if you are living in a residence hall. Indirect Costs are other expenses you may incur, like transportation. If you are commuting or living off campus, you will see an estimated housing and dining amount listed as an indirect cost. These expenses are not billed by UW-Platteville.
Estimated Financial Aid Offer
Your financial aid offer may include grants and scholarships. These do not have to repaid. Loans are a type of financial assistance that must be repaid. Work Study funds are earned by working on campus. They do not disburse toward your student account and are issued through payroll. To view a more in depth description, visit Types of Aid
Estimated Net Cost, Estimated Outstanding Costs, and Printing Your Offer Letter
- The Estimated Annual Cost of Attendance (COA) provides you with an estimate of anticipated costs, both direct and indirect.
- The Estimated Financial Aid Offer displays potential grants, scholarships, loans, and federal work study that you may be eligible for.
- The Estimated Net Cost subtracts the scholarships and grants that you may receive from your estimated annual cost of attendance.
- The Estimated Outstanding Cost subtracts all of your financial aid (scholarships, grants, loans, federal work study) from your estimated cost of attendance. This is an estimate of expenses that may need to be paid out of pocket.
