How Much Will it Cost?
Typical cost budgets estimated for Academic Year 08-09

In 1992, the United States Congress modified the criteria used to determine a student's need for federal aid programs. Among other items, the FEDERAL METHODOLOGY defines how estimated student expense budgets must be determined. Expenses of the family other than the student (such as spouse or children) cannot be included in the student expense budget. Federal financial aid policy now precludes federal financial aid dollars being used to support a student's family. Child care/dependent care costs can, however, be included in the student cost budget.

Below is an estimated cost budget for (individual) students attending the OU Health Sciences Center. This is an estimate of approximately how much money an independent student can expect to spend to complete a nine month academic year, including living expenses. If you are a student with dependents, these cost figures represent only your share of expenses. Students involved in curricula extending beyond the typical nine month period may expand the living expenses on a proportionate basis. The expenses listed here, including tuition and fees, are subject to revision.
