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.
