Determining Your Costs

Your award letter outlines your financial aid eligibility and provides you with the out-of pocket-cost for the academic year.

In addition to billable charges, other ESTIMATED expenses are included in a student's total cost of attendance for the 2011-2012 year. Below are each of LVC's student budgets based on your housing status:

Books and supplies, transportation and personal expense costs will not appear on the bill, but these estimates will be included in the total cost of attendance in determining your financial aid eligibility. Actual amounts of these expenses will depend on the course work you take, your personal spending habits and the distance between LVC and your home.

While you will be billed for each of the two semesters separately (July and November respectively), we advise that your plan for your entire academic year expenses at one time.
