*The Student Health Center Fee is a mandatory charge included on students’ tuition bill that helps fund the medical and wellness services provided by the on-campus health center and available to all students. The Student Activities Fee is a mandatory charge included on students’ tuition bill that supports a wide range of student-centered activities, services, and programs enhancing the overall student experience beyond the classroom.
**Allegheny provides multiple housing and food options. The costs used to determine housing and food costs are estimates. A housing cost of $7,350 for on-campus living students represents a traditional room cost for first year students. Meal Plan Gator Gold, $7,590/year, is used to calculate an on-campus and international student’s cost of attendance for financial aid eligibility as it provides 3 meals per day. However, Meal Plan Gator Blue, $6,750/year is our most popular option, and is used when estimating most student’s actual billable expenses.
Housing and food costs for students not living on campus are determined as follows from data reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Northeast region of the United States. Housing, living off campus: $6,674; housing, living at home, $1,968. Food, living off campus: $3,654; food, living at home: $3,654.
***Books, transportation, and miscellaneous personal expenses were calculated based on average expenses reported through a survey completed by a sample population of current students.
Study Abroad is the same as on-campus with the exception that the fees would be $800 instead of $690.
Federal loan origination fees are also added into the cost of attendance. While actual federal parent PLUS loan origination fees are included, an average for the federal student loan origination fees is used in the cost of attendance.
Computer and Child Care Expenses: If a student incurs the cost of a computer or has child care expenses for their dependent(s) during the academic term, the Financial Aid Department can add the additional expense to their cost of attendance through a professional judgment. Students are not required to purchase a specific software program or computer for their studies; however, if a computer is needed for continuance of academic achievement at any time during the semester, students are able to provide documentation of the cost of the computer, and up to $2,000 will be added to their cost of attendance. Students can contact the Financial Aid Office for assistance in amending their cost of attendance for either of the expenses.
