Your estimated cost of attendance is based on full-time enrollment and residency status for one academic year, including direct and indirect costs.
- Direct costs are expenses that are billed by App State, including tuition and fees. They can also include on-campus housing and on-campus meal plan costs.
- Indirect costs are estimated expenses a student will likely incur, but will not pay to App State. These may include, but are not limited to, off-campus housing and food, transportation, and personal expenses.
The Cost of Attendance is not a student's bill, but what we estimate students will need to cover all of their expenses for the academic year.

The estimated cost of attendance is for a full-time (12+ hours) undergraduate student.
This estimated cost is for one academic year; each semester is half of the listed estimate.
