Graduate Cost of Attendance

The cost of attendance, also known as the cost of education or budget, represents the total average amount it will cost to attend SVC for an academic year, excluding financial aid. This figure is used to determine eligibility for federal funding for the 2025-2026 academic year and reflects the estimated costs for a full-time graduate student based on their residency.

Direct costs will be billed to your student invoice, while indirect costs are not billed but are estimated expenses that may occur. These estimates are mandatory for federal funding purposes and do not include financial aid or scholarships.

Additional costs you might incur, depending on your situation, include dependent care, disability-related expenses, cooperative education costs, and study abroad expenses.
