For Financial Aid Purposes
Student Financial Assistance creates an estimate of the costs a typical full-time student may incur during a fall and spring semester combined. This figure is used in determining your financial aid eligibility and includes both direct and indirect costs.
Direct costs include tuition, mandatory fees, room, board and books. Indirect costs include transportation and personal expenses. ASU has found that most families already have indirect costs (i.e., clothing, laundry, etc.) accounted for in their normal family budget so your actual expenses may be lower than our estimates.
In most cases, these expenses will not be charged to your student account. Instead, ASU contractors and/or outside entities will bill you directly. However, charges like tuition, fees and health insurance are assessed to your student account. Room charges are also assessed to your student account if you are living in a residence hall on the Tempe campus.
You can submit a Student Review form to receive consideration for childcare expenses, additional course costs or unexpected medical expenses you have incurred this academic year.
