Cost of Attendance
2023-24 AWARD YEAR COST OF ATTENDANCE
The 2023-2024 Cost of Attendance below is used to determine eligibility for federal funding. Students may not receive funding more than their total Cost of Attendance. The Cost of Attendance includes both Direct Costs and Indirect Costs. The Direct Costs are those cost items billed directly to the student’s account, such as tuition and fees. The Indirect Costs are those cost items not billed directly to the student’s account; however, these amounts are estimates of expenses that a student may have while attending NAU and may be included when determining financial aid eligibility. Students should be aware that student loan borrowing may be limited by annual student loan limits, aggregate loan limits and/or federal need.
NAU encourages the use of grant aid first and supplemented with self-help aid in the form of educational loan programs. This philosophy should reduce the student loan burden and possible default of federal student loans. In addition, NAU encourages all students to borrow for expected Direct Costs only. For more information, see Federal Financial Aid.
The Cost of Attendance example below, reflects the estimated costs for an incoming undergraduate first-year student who plans to attend part-time. In general, NAU undergraduate students do not attend full-time. Cost of Attendance varies by program, degree level and tuition rates.

Professional Judgement Requests
Students may request a Professional Judgement review for Unusual and Special Circumstances that apply specifically to them or their family situation. NAU will review all Professional Judgement requests. Professional Judgement decisions are determined on a case-by-case basis. All decisions are final and may not be appealed. Contact your Financial Services Representative to discuss your situation.
Unusual Circumstances refer to conditions where a student’s dependency status may be adjusted based on a unique situation, such as homelessness or parent information cannot be provided.
Special Circumstances refer to financial situations that may adjust data elements within their Cost of Attendance calculation or FAFSA. Examples of Special Circumstances include unemployment, changes to income, and additional allowances included in their Cost of Attendance.
*Additional Allowances may include:
Dependent care expenses, disability-related expenses, or a computer allowance. Students must submit documentation of rental or purchase of a personal computer. The personal computer allowance is included in the first academic year of the current Award Year. Students may request an additional computer allowance every two calendar years from the original proof of purchase date. The computer allowance will be included at the total purchase price of the computer or calculated rental cost (at the number of months in the payment period) or up to $1000.00 maximum.
