The following is the 2008-2009 anticipated cost of attendance for undergraduate students enrolled full-time in one of the full-time divisions (Newcomb-Tulane College , School of Architecture , A.B. Freeman School of Business, School of Science and Engineering and School of Liberal Arts):

Tuition and Fees:

• Tuition - $35,500
• Academic Support Fees - $2,200 - The University fee entitles a student to use the supplementary services of the university library and the language and science laboratories. It also covers certain computer services and data and voice hookups, the Educational Resources and Counseling Center and other academic support services.
  Student Health Fee - $544 - The Student Health fee provides all students on all Tulane campuses with primary care at the Student Health Center . It also contributes to health education programs, drug and alcohol counseling and the Tulane Emergency Service.
• Student Activity and Reily Recreation Fee - $420 - The student body at Tulane assesses itself a Student Activity fee to support its activities. The Student Activity fee entitles students to participate in or attend supported activities, readership of a weekly student newspaper, and admission to many intercollegiate athletic contests, movies and lectures. Students are also assessed for membership to the Reily Recreation Center .

Room: The estimated room cost for resident students (not living with parents or other relatives) is based on the average cost of a double-occupancy room in a traditional residence hall on campus. The average cost of a double-occupancy room for freshmen students is $5,680. The average cost of a double-occupancy room for upperclass students is $6,210. Certain students can choose either on-campus housing options or choose to live off-campus; however, the room budget will not be increased to cover charges above these levels. For students living at home with their parents (or with other relatives) room costs are estimated at $1,530.

Board: The estimated board cost is based on an average board plan offered to freshmen through the Sodexho Marriott Services (SMS). Upperclass students can choose between a variety of board programs through SMS, and the cost reflects this variety average at a frugal level. The estimated board costs for commuter students are estimated at $1,100 .

*Books: The estimated cost for books and supplies is $1,200 for all undergraduates in a full-time division, with the exception of Architecture students. The estimated cost for books and supplies is $1,400 for Architecture students.

Transportation: For students whose permanent address is outside the New Orleans area, transportation budgets vary from $370 to $1,550 . The budget is set by the permanent home address state, based upon the average advanced reservation airfare for two round trips to the home state per year. The estimated transportation costs for commuter students are estimated at $720.
