Explanation of Estimated Cost of Attendance for International Students 2023-2024

Tuition and Fees:  Actual tuition and fee charges will vary depending on the number and type of courses a student takes each term.  Tuition and fees for the summer semester are NOT included in the estimate of tuition and fees incurred annually. 

Books and Supplies:  Estimates may be somewhat low for students in certain fields.  Estimates do NOT include books and supplies for study during the summer.  Expect at least $500 in expenses for books and supplies for a full course load (12 hours undergraduate; 9 hours graduate) during the fall and spring semesters.   Costs may be higher for some programs.

Housing:  Housing is based on an average rate of $2,240 per fall and spring semester for double occupancy on-campus housing as listed at USA Housing /departments/housing/rates.html.  Off-campus properties rates can vary but should average the cost of on-campus housing, but may be more or less expensive depending on the needs and choice of the person. Please be aware that some off-campus properties include utilities in the price of rent, while others require separate utility service. 

Food:  Dining is based on the lowest cost of an on-campus meal plan of $2,075 per fall and spring semester. Students who live off-campus may choose to buy an on-campus meal plan or 鈥渄ining dollars鈥 by visiting USA Dining.

Students who often eat in restaurants or cafeterias will likely incur greater costs than those estimated.  Students who prepare most meals in their apartments will likely be able to stay within the estimated cost. 

Personal Expenses:  These expenses vary greatly from student to student.  The amount listed in this estimate is an approximation of funds that may be needed to supplement living expenses.

Dependents:  An accompanying dependent (spouse/child) who is not a student will require additional funds or support.  The estimate of $5,000 per year/per dependent meets the U.S. Government Health and Human Services Poverty Level yearly estimate. Please be aware that actual dependent costs may be much higher due to additional medical insurance expenses, food, clothing, and daycare for children.

Medical Insurance: The University of South 成人快播 requires all international students in F-1 and J-1 status to have continuous medical insurance coverage.  The U.S. Department of State also requires all visitors in J-1 or J-2 to maintain medical insurance coverage for the duration of their stay in the U.S.

The estimate of health insurance costs is the annual premium for United Healthcare and is for the student only.  Students may submit a waiver of this insurance, but must qualify with their own personal insurance policy that equals the University鈥檚 policy. USA encourages students with families to obtain medical insurance coverage for all family members in the U.S.

For students whose insurance coverage is sponsored under a government scholarship letter/financial guarantee letter (i.e. SACM, Kuwait Cultural Embassy), this documentation must be provided no later than the first day of classes along with a copy of the actual insurance card. Scholarship/financial guarantee supported international students are responsible for all premiums and fees billed to their accounts if such documents are not received before classes begin.

Enrollment forms and policy information available at the USA Student Health website.
