In addition to books and supplies, families should plan on other indirect cost such as transportation and personal spending.  There may be additional charges dependent upon class schedules and/or room assignments.
          
Example: $70 parking permit charge, lab fees, private music lesson fee, etc.

*Parents may borrow a Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) up to the full Cost of Attendance (or Budget) minus any financial assistance the student is receiving.  If the student has an excess of funds (more aid than the total direct cost), the balance will be given to the student as a refund.

The student can use this refund as a means to pay for books, transportation or other personal spending.
