How Aid Works

电子游戏软件仍然坚持只根据学生的申请实力来录取学生. Students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents, who are not in default on a Federal student loan and who demonstrate financial need, will be assisted in meeting that need through different financial aid funds. 一个家庭的实际经济需求是指学费与预期家庭贡献之间的差额.

Cost of Attendance

出席费用(COA)提供了参加电子游戏软件相关费用的估计. 在创建出勤成本时,主要使用两类成本:直接成本和间接成本.

Direct (Billed) Costs

The cost of attendance includes costs that will appear on your bill—tuition, housing, food (if required) and fees. For students living off campus, your direct costs will include tuition and fees. When trying to determine financial responsibilities to Boston College each year, the direct costs are what will appear on your billing statement.

Your first bill for the academic year will likely include a charge for health insurance. 马萨诸塞州的法律要求每一个全日制和非全日制的学生都必须获得证书, 授予文凭或学位的高等教育项目必须参加学校的学生健康计划或具有类似覆盖范围的健康福利计划. 有类似保险范围的学生可以在特定的截止日期前放弃电子游戏软件的健康计划. 有关BC健康保险计划的更多信息以及放弃保险的指示和截止日期,请访问 fc-daudenzell.com/medicalinsurance. The cost for the BC medical insurance for the 24–25 year is TBD.

*归国学生的直接费用将根据房间分配和是否需要膳食计划而有所不同. Costs for returning students are listed here.

**Fees are charged in the first semester. All other costs are divided across two semesters.

Indirect (Non-billed) Costs

The cost of attendance also includes costs that will not appear on your bill. 这类项目包括书本费、旅费和杂项/个人费用的估计数. For students that live off campus, an estimate for your housing and food costs will be included in your COA, and are considered indirect costs because you will not be billed by BC for those costs.

**For 23–24, 联邦政府电子游戏正规平台了规定,要求学院和大学将每天三餐的费用计入出勤费用. 你的生活费用总额将不符合任何要求的膳食计划的收费金额. 这种差异是有意的,以确保你的经济援助费用出席符合联邦法规.

总出勤费用不包括差旅费,因学生而异. Students can view their specific cost of attendance online through their financial aid portal.

Please note: Student budgets can vary depending upon on- or off-campus residency. 如果学生的住房状况发生变化,学生必须以书面形式通知学生服务办公室.
