Cost of Attendance

Cost of Attendance is an estimate of what it will cost for you to attend Regent University. This includes both direct costs and indirect costs.  

Direct costs are the actual price of tuition and fees. 

Indirect costs are additional expenses you are likely to incur while attending school.  These include books and supplies, personal expenses, living expenses, and transportation. Your lifestyle can have a big impact on this cost category.  Try to reevaluate your priorities so you can stay within your budget.

Tuition charges each year, plus the living expense budget constitute a student’s cost of attendance. Total financial aid awarded may not exceed a student’s cost of attendance.

Budget Worksheet: Managing your resources involves knowing the costs associated with attending school, as well as the funding sources you will use to pay those costs. Using the example budget sheets (online and on campus), mark your expenses and your resources, then simply subtract your expenses from your resources.  You can estimate your expenses based on what our students reported spending in these categories last year.
