1 Direct Expenses and Indirect Expenses are two vital parts of the "Cost of Attendance" or budget. All financial aid packages are developed using a cost of attendance. Direct Expenses are charges that a student will incur on his/her billing statement fro the Bursar's Office. Indirect Expenses are other costs that a student will incur on his/her own while attending Fairfield University. The amounts factored into the Indirect Expenses are only averages of what a student may spend.

2 Tuition is based on a student's anticipated full-time enrollment. If a student fails to enroll full time, their financial aid eligibility will be recalculated.

3 Based on Double Occupancy. Room and Board charges may vary depending on the type of housing the student is assigned.

4 The board allowance for a student who lives with his/her parents is $8,600.
