The Department of Education mandates institutions to publish a Cost of Attendance (COA). The COA is an estimate of expenses you can reasonably expect to pay in one year of attendance of a university. The COA includes both direct and indirect costs. Direct costs include charges paid directly to Queens, like tuition, fees, and room and board for students who live on campus. Indirect costs are other expenses that should be considered while enrolled, like books, supplies, and transportation costs.

A student’s actual costs may vary depending upon food and housing selections, course fees, and individual decisions about enrollment. Regardless of actual costs, your total financial aid may not exceed the stated Cost of Attendance.
