Direct Costs vs. Estimated Expenses

Tuition is a direct cost charged by WBS.

Books, course materials and supplies, housing, food, transportation, personal expenses, and applicable federal student loan fees are allowances used in determining a student’s Cost of Attendance. These amounts generally are not charged by WBS and do not represent amounts a student must pay to the Seminary.

Federal student loan fees are included in the Cost of Attendance for students who receive a federal Direct Loan. The actual allowance is based on the applicable federal loan fee and the amount borrowed. Students who do not borrow a federal student loan will not incur this expense.

Individual Cost of Attendance

A student’s individual Cost of Attendance may differ from the standard budget based on enrollment, period of attendance, living arrangements, dependency status, and other circumstances permitted under federal student aid regulations.

Students who live with a parent or have other living arrangements may have a different Cost of Attendance than the standard off-campus budget shown above.

Students who believe their educational expenses differ significantly from the standard Cost of Attendance may contact the WBS Financial Aid Office to discuss whether an adjustment is appropriate. Documentation may be required.
