Housing and Food
Our housing and food estimate is based on our
Housing Rates
by taking the average housing expense and 21 meals per week meal plan.
Please note, first-year students are
required
to live on-campus and have a meal plan according to Board of Governor’s policy unless they meet the
First-Year Residency Waiver criteria
. Students who plan to commute should submit a
first-year residency waiver
once admitted.
Full-time vs Single-term Enrollment
The cost of attendance is for full-time enrollment and will be adjusted for less-than-full-time enrollment or single-term enrollment. Loan fees are added to the cost of attendance if students accept federal direct loan funds.
Additional Fees
An additional one-time Orientation and Truman Week fee of $350 is assessed for incoming freshmen and $150 for incoming transfer students.
Some instructors may require the use of remote proctoring services, or other services designed to verify one’s identity when examinations or other graded activities are completed remotely. Any cost associated with these services will be disclosed at the time of registration. To locate this information, click on the 4-digit CRN number listed next to the course prefix and number (e.g. ENG 190). Doing so will open detailed information about the course including any additional fees. Faculty will also disclose this information on their syllabus.
