Cost of Attendance
Components of the estimated cost of college attendance include tuition and fees, living and personal expenses, textbooks and materials, and other possible expenses. Depending on whether or not you live on campus and other factors, the cost of attendance varies and is just an estimation. The Office of the Bursar manages and delivers your tuition bill each semester you are enrolled.
See the current estimated cost of attendance at the University of Louisville.
Net Price Calculator
The Net Price Calculator (NPC) is a valuable tool for understanding estimated costs and expenses including possible federal financial assistance you may receive or be eligible for. The net price of attending UofL can vary depending on other aid you receive based on need or academic achievement.
Financial Wellness
Our office aims to provide valuable information on how to manage the cost of your education and achieve financial literacy. In addition to our own and local resources, we compiled money management and financial literacy information from federal and state aid sources.

Part-Time Aid Adjustment Request
The priority deadline to submit the Part-Time Aid Adjustment Request form for the fall 2024 term was Monday, August 12th. If you have you finalized your enrollment for the fall 2024 term and will be attending less-than full-time, you can still submit the form; however, the evaluation of your aid eligibility and disbursement of your aid will be delayed. By submitting this form, you are requesting the Student Financial Aid Office proceed with making the necessary adjustments to your financial aid and/or cost of attendance based on your current enrollment. Do not complete this form if you plan to adjust your schedule.
To access the Part-Time Aid Adjustment Request form:
- Log in to your ULink account
- On the ‘Student Homepage’, select the ‘Financial Aid’ tile
- On the left-hand menu, select ‘Part-time Aid Adjustment Req’
If you attend less-than full-time during the fall term and do not complete the Part-Time Aid Adjustment Request form, your aid will not be evaluated for potential necessary adjustments nor disbursement until after the last day to drop and receive a 100% tuition credit for regular fall courses. You must be enrolled at least half-time to receive federal loans and funds from the vast majority of aid programs. Half-time enrollment is considered 6 hours for undergraduate students and 4.5 hours for graduate/professional students during the fall and spring terms.
