    Cost of attendance at UIdaho

    Planning for college starts with understanding your expected costs. University of Idaho’s cost of attendance (COA) estimates the expenses you may have as a student, including tuition, fees, housing, food, books and other educational and personal expenses. COA is also used to determine financial aid eligibility and help calculate your financial aid award, including grants and loans.

    Explore the breakdown below to view estimated costs based on your student type and enrollment status.

    What does cost of attendance mean?

    The cost of attendance is an estimate of the total expenses for one academic year (two semesters). These estimates will help you anticipate and plan for educational and living costs. Actual expenses may vary depending on your individual circumstances.

    Note: Costs will vary based on individual circumstances, housing options and meal plans. The cost of attendance is not a bill, but an estimate of the overall cost of college. There are many enrollment decisions and choices you can make to minimize costs.

    What’s included in the cost of attendance?

    Tuition and fees

    Tuition and fees are based on full-time enrollment, defined as 12-20 credit hours per term for undergraduate students. Those electing fewer than 12 credit hours are charged on a per-credit-hour basis. Those electing more than 20 hours must pay for additional credits.

    For financial aid eligibility, full-time for graduate students is defined as eight credit hours per term (however, for tuition rate purposes, full-time for graduate students is defined as nine credit hours per term).

    Tuition and fees vary based on residency status (in-state, out-of-state or international). For residency questions, contact the Office of the Registrar.

    Housing and meals

    Estimated costs for housing and meals. These figures reflect an estimated median of on-campus housing and meal plan options. If you live off-campus, with parents or in other locations (e.g. Boise) you may have different costs.

    Books, course materials, supplies and equipment

    Estimated costs for textbooks and other school supplies needed for coursework. These figures apply to a full-time student for one academic year.

    Costs vary by program, course load and selected classes. Reduce your costs by comparing prices, buying used books, renting books or using the university's library.

    Transportation

    Transportation costs vary greatly depending on individual needs, such as commuting, traveling to internships or returning home during school breaks.

    Miscellaneous and personal expenses

    Includes items like clothing, personal care, utilities, internet and services. These are considered indirect costs and will differ for each student.
