The program's Cost of Attendance (COA) is the estimated cost for a student to attend a particular program for a specific academic year. The COA is also referred to as the program budget. The cost of attendance typically includes tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. The COA may vary for each year of a program to reflect specific costs required by the program and incurred by students during that year (e.g., Board exam fees). The COA may also differ depending on the number of academic sessions, number of months, or number of units included in that financial aid year. Thus, a COA for a twelve month academic/financial aid year would include tuition for twelve months, plus other estimated expenses (e.g., room and board) for a twelve month period. A COA for a nine month academic/financial aid year would include tuition for nine months, plus estimated other expenses (e.g., room and board) for a nine month period. The COA is determined by developing an average cost for students to attend a particular program in a particular year. Under federal financial aid guidelines, all expenses included in the COA must reflect the student's educational expenses while enrolled in the program.

The maximum loan amount a student may be eligible to borrow in a single academic/financial aid year cannot exceed the total Cost Of Attendance (COA) for that specific year. Thus, if the COA for a program in a specific year is $37,000, the student may request loans totaling $37,000. If the student requests loans in excess of this amount, the school will only certify loans up to the amount for which the student is eligible.

Your award letter will be mailed to you as soon as the Office of Financial Aid is able to package and generate your loans.

The Cost of Attendance can be increased only in very limited circumstances. To request an increase in the cost of attendance for your health insurance expense, you must provide the Office of Financial Aid with proof of your health insurance cost (e.g., an invoice showing the annual or monthly premium expense), plus proof that you are paying for the expense (e.g., copy of a cancelled check). If an increase in the cost of attendance is approved by Financial Aid, this increase may not necessarily reflect your full cost of health insurance if your cost exceeds standard expenses. After an increase in the cost of attendance is approved, the student is responsible for initiating an additional alternative loan to cover this expenditure.

Upon receipt of a completed and signed Financial Aid packet and Student Loan Request Statement the Financial Aid Office will initiate your Federal Stafford loans, provided you have completed your FAFSA, an entrance exam and signed the eMPN.

The student should initiate the Federal Grad Plus or Private/Alternative loan by selecting a lender, going to that lender's website, following the instructions to initiate the loan and signing an eMPN. Your selected lender will notify the Office of Financial Aid that certification is required.

Typically students receive two disbursements of their Federal Stafford and Grad plus Loans, and two disbursements of the Private/Alternative loans. Generally, disbursements to students are timed to coincide approximately with the start of each academic session/semester. Note that if an academic/financial aid year consists of a single academic session, Federal Financial Aid guidelines stipulate that your federal loans must be disbursed in a minimum of two disbursements, the second of which cannot occur until the mid-point of the academic session/semester.

All loan/refunds checks are given out by the Bursar's office. The office can be reached at (646) 981-4500, Ext 4553 or in room 224 in the Students Affairs Suite.

Be sure to record any other sources of financial aid on the Financial Aid packet under the section "Resource Information." Failure to record these sources of financial aid may result in an over-award to you, which must then be cancelled and returned to the lender, resulting in a delay in your financial aid.

The Registrar completes and mails in your In-School Deferment Form to your previous lender on your behalf.
