Estimated Cost of Attendance
What does the Cost of Attendance mean?
The cost of attendance at UW-Eau Claire varies based on individual student circumstances. The Financial Aid Office creates a student's financial aid offer based on a cost of attendance which includes expenses directly billed by the university (tuition/fees, residence hall if living in university housing, and meal plan) and non-billed education expenses (transportation, books/supplies, miscellaneous/personal expenses, loan fees and license/certification costs if applicable). If living off campus and/or you do not purchase a meal plan, the cost of attendance will include allowances for housing and food along with the other components. The Cost of Attendance is only used for financial aid purposes and will not necessarily reflect actual charges. The Business Office will publish tuition and fees once they are finalized (usually mid-July for the upcoming fall term).
