Cost of Attendance
When estimating your college budget, you’ll want to consider your entire cost of attendance. This includes what you pay to WCU (tuition, fees, room and board), along with expenses that you don't pay to WCU (extra books, a computer, personal and travel expenses).
* In order to attend WCU, you must have an up-to-date, networkable computer.
Your entire cost of attendance is used to determine how much assistance you’ll receive when you apply for financial aid.
