Comprehensive Costs

Investing in Your Future

College attendance consists of direct and indirect costs. Direct costs are those that will appear on your university bill, while indirect costs are those that AU won’t bill you for but are still wise to consider in your annual budget. The maximum cost of attendance and scholarship awards can also affect final costs.

Augustana's Refund/Repayment Policy complies with federal regulations. For information about important dates, payment plans and more, visit the Payment Information page.
