Additional Items Factored Into Your 2015-2016 Budget
These items represent additional expenses that you may incur over the course of the year while attending TC. These figures are purely estimates and are NOT mandatory/applicable to all students. Please note that while every student is allotted an annual budget for the items listed below, they are optional to include in one's own budgeting calculations. The figures used for our 2015-2016 Cost of Attendance budget were derived from results we gathered after surveying our student body. Questions on the survey focused on the estimated costs and expenses incurred over the course of the year while at TC.
| Additional Items | Estimated Annual Budgets* |
| Gold Health Insurance**: | $3,477 |
| Books and Supplies: | $2,408 |
| Travel Allowance: | $5,256 |
| Personal Expenses: | $17,478 |
| Living Expenses (Room and Board): | $19,368 |
* Estimated annual budgets are based on the 2015-2016 TC Cost of Attendance for a part-time student taking 12 credits/year (over nine months); budgeted figures may be different for those enrolling in more or less credits.
** All students enrolled in 12 or more credits and/or living in the residence halls are required to have health insurance coverage (TC or external). Full-time students/those living on-campus are automatically enrolled in TC's basic health insurance; this coverage may be waived with proper proof of external coverage. The basic health insurance will cover you from Sep. 1, 2015 to Aug. 31, 2016.
