The basic Cost of Attendance (COA) components included for all students are: tuition and required fees, books and supplies, transportation, miscellaneous personal expenses; and room and board. The COA represents the estimated cost of attending Cornell University for a nine-month academic year and includes both direct costs that appear on the student bill such as tuition, fees, and on-campus housing and dining; and indirect costs that are not billed by Cornell, such as books and supplies, transportation, an allowance for personal expenses, and off-campus housing and dining.

A detailed breakdown of the undergraduate cost of attendance is available on the Cost To Attend page.

A detailed breakdown of the graduate cost of attendance is available on the Graduate Students page.

Information on cost of attendance for the professional schools can be found on their websites: Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, Cornell Law School and the College of Veterinary Medicine.
