Understanding the costs involved in getting a graduate degree at Chapman University is an important part of making your decision to attend. Students are expected to be aware of their tuition and fee obligations that are incurred while attending. Tuition and fees are considered direct costs, as they are directly billed to your student account. Your cost of attendance also includes indirect costs like housing and food, books, transportation, etc. These items are estimates based on student survey data. We recommend you consider the given cost of attendance for your program when you are making decisions about housing and other living expenses, keeping in mind that living on a student budget can mean a change to your lifestyle.
Cost of Attendance standards are based on federal regulations. Students who believe they have costs that are not included, or have extenuating circumstances, can reach out to gradfinaid@chapman.edu to ask for assistance. You may be asked to provide documentation to support your situation.
