Let’s Break It Down

The estimated cost of attendance has been developed as a guide to help students anticipate their costs at UCF. The cost of attendance is different for undergraduate and graduate students, and within these two categories, the costs vary depending on where the student lives. The Office of Student Financial Assistance uses these costs to develop standard student budgets for awarding financial aid funds.
