Cost of
Attendance
What is the Cost of Attendance (COA)?
Understand Your Total Investment in an OU Online Education
Planning for college isn’t just about tuition. At the University of Oklahoma Online we want you to feel confident and informed about what going to school costs. Your Cost of Attendance (COA) is the full estimated budget for one academic year — including tuition and fees, books and supplies, transportation, housing and food, and the everyday expenses that help you learn, live, and succeed. This estimate plays a key role in understanding your financial aid eligibility and planning how you’ll pay for your degree.
Why Cost of Attendance Matters for You
The COA helps show the big picture of your education costs — not just what you’ll be billed, but how much it may cost to pursue your goals at OU Online. This number is used when you submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine the types and amounts of aid you may qualify for. Knowing your COA is a powerful first step in making informed decisions about scholarships, loans, employer tuition support, and other ways to finance your degree.
Important Deadlines
Submit FAFSA for the 2025/2026 academic year by June 30, 2026.
FAFSA applications for 2026/2027 are now open. Students are encouraged to apply now for Fall 2026 aid.
