Tuition & Fees Cost of Attendance
The Cost of Attendance is an estimate of what you can expect to pay to attend TC3 for an academic year. Your exact charges will be included on your billing statement.
Cost of Attendance includes two types of expenses – direct costs and indirect costs. The total amount of Financial Aid you receive cannot exceed the Cost of Attendance.
Direct Costs
Billed charges that are paid directly to TC3 for tuition, fees, housing, and meals. If you live on campus you will be charged directly by TC3 for housing and meals.
Indirect Costs
Expenses that are not billed by TC3, but are still needed while you attend college. Indirect costs include books, supplies, transportation, and miscellaneous/personal expenses. If you’ll be living off campus, you should also budget for indirect expenses such as housing and meals.
