UKCD Cost of Attendance

The Cost of Attendance (COA) budgets represent the University of Kentucky’s (UK’s) best estimate of both institutional (directly billed) and non-institutional (variable and not billed by UK) costs, students will incur during the 2026-27 academic year and should help students budget their resources effectively. The below costs represent the average amounts paid by degree-seeking students who attend UK. Costs for fall and spring terms are estimated unless otherwise noted. These averages are updated annually and are used to determine how much financial aid to award to a student. All UKCD COA budget information is sourced from Student Success's Cost of Attendance page.
