Estimated Cost of Attendance for CSU
The official Estimated Cost of Attendance is determined each year by the Office of
Financial Aid at Columbus State University. The Estimated Cost of Attendance includes
tuition, fees, on-campus housing and food (or a housing and food allowance for off-campus
students), books, materials, supplies, equipment, transportation, and miscellaneous
expenses. The Estimated Cost of Attendance represents the maximum amount of financial
aid that a student can be offered using federal, state, and institutional sources.
The total amount of financial aid offered cannot exceed the annual Estimated Cost
of Attendance.
Please note that your Financial Aid Estimated Cost of Attendance is not your bill. The Student Accounts Office website will maintain a listing of all billable charges
and will be the source for receiving your specific tuition and fee charges due to
CSU for each semester.
