Cost of Attendance
University of Hawai‘i West O‘ahu utilizes standard budgets which are updated annually by the University of Hawaii's Office of the Vice President of Student Affairs. The budgets are a reflection of the changes in national cost of living figures and local community costs. The cost of attendance includes more than the items the student pays to the institution.
The cost of attendance budget for the period covered by the financial aid award is comprised of the following:
- Tuition
- Student Fees
- Books & Supplies
- Room & Board
- Transportation
- Loan Fees
- Personal/Miscellaneous Expenses
These budgets will vary in total amounts depending on the number of credit hours for which you are enrolled and where you plan to live. For the 2012-2013 academic year, a typical full-time (12+ credits/semester) budget is:
