Online MBA Cost of Attendance (COA) Budget for Fall 2023 – Winter 2024

***Tuition rate shown in cost of attendance are based on the assumption of 4.5 credits of enrollment per term. If you plan to be enrolled greater than or less than 4.5 credits, please refer to Tuition per Credit Hour Cost Sheet to calculate your actual tuition cost per term.***

Cost of Attendance (COA) Budget

A student’s financial aid is awarded based on the Cost of Attendance budget. You can borrow up to the Cost of Attendance budget; less other aid (such as scholarships and department aid) to cover the other budget expenses.

Students enrolled less than 4.5 credits will be subject to a budget adjustment. Financial Aid will identify the students that are less than 4.5 credits after the University’s first initial Add/Drop date of the semester, and adjust student’s Cost of Attendance to match that of actual tuition charge on account, which may result in a reduction of awarded aid if awarded full cost of attendance. If you are only borrowing enough to cover tuition and fees only, you do not have to contact Ross Financial aid to increase your budget as you can borrow against the other items in the budget.

To learn more about the University’s Add/Drop date, visit the Registrar’s website and click on “Calendars”> checkbox “Registration Deadlines”> select an “Academic Term” and hit Submit to view the University’s registration deadlines.

Sometimes the standard estimated Fall and Winter Cost of Attendance does not realistically meet a student’s actual expenses. Students that are in need of additional aid beyond the standard estimated Cost of Attendance budget, may want to seek a Budget Re-Evaluation.

Online MBA Cost of Attendance Budget for Spring 2024 and/or Summer 2024

Spring or Summer Cost of Attendance (COA) budget will be dependent on the student’s enrollment plan. Please contact us at rossfinaid@umich.edu with your enrollment plan and your UMID number in regards to your Spring and/or Summer budget.

Loans and registration requirements for disbursement

Federal loan programs and most private loans will require a minimum of half time enrollment for borrowing eligibility. This means you must have at least 4 credits of enrollment to borrow loans against a given semester.

• Fall term: 4 or more credits hours
• Winter term: 4 or more credit hours
• Spring and/or Summer terms: 4 or more credit hours. 
  • This can be within one term (Spring or Summer) or it can be combined between the terms. If a student is to register for 2 credits in Spring, then the student must be registered for 2 or more in Summer term.  They are separate overall but for financial aid, they considered one full term.  For an example: If a student was to only register for Spring term, to be considered for disbursement of aid, then you must be registered for 4 or more credits.
