Fall and Spring 

The following Financial Aid Cost of Attendance (COA) reflects an average of direct (billable) and indirect (non-billable) expenses you may incur while attending MTSU.  The total amount is NOT what you will owe to MTSU.  Typically, the total of your financial aid / educational assistance cannot exceed your COA.

• An undergraduate COA is initially calculated based on an average full-time enrollment of 14 credits.  To be considered full-time, you must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours of eligible coursework.  If you are not enrolled full-time in eligible coursework, the tuition & fees and the book component of the COA will be reduced, and your financial aid may also be reduced.
• A graduate COA is initially calculated based on an average half-time enrollment of 6 credits.  To be considered half-time, you must be enrolled in at least 5 credit hours of eligible coursework.  You must be enrolled at least half-time to qualify for federal student loans.

Summer

During the Summer term, students can register for classes within 9 parts of terms.  Based on which month(s) the majority of a class meets, costs for living expenses (i.e., Food & Housing), Transportation, and Miscellaneous expenses are included in the Cost of Attendance (COA).  Federal regulations do not allow expenses during a period of non-enrollment to be included in the COA.  Therefore, a Summer COA is based on a student's enrollment within the various parts of terms. 

The COA is assigned once a student registers for summer classes and will adjust as a student drops and adds classes until aid is disbursed.  If a student receives a Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG) or a Federal TEACH Grant, the COA will be locked based on enrollment within the various parts of terms as of the census date of July 5, 2024. 

Included below are the Full-Time, Full-Term Undergraduate and Graduate COAs which is assigned if enrolled in at least 12 eligible credit hours and attending the full-term (maximum of 3 months).  If a student enrolls less than full-time (12 credits for undergraduate or 9 credits for graduate students) AND is not enrolled in a full-term courses or in a combination of courses from the various parts of terms that meet during the majority of May - July, then the COA will be reduced which can result in aid being reduced.
