NOTE: Some figures for indirect costs, such as room/board, personal expenses and transportation, incorporate monthly expenditures. These have been adjusted from the original figures to reflect the University’s adjustment of the academic calendar for the spring semester from five months (January through May) to four months, as that term will end in April.
