What Will It Cost to Attend UHV?

Cost of Attendance

The cost of attendance (COA) is not the bill you receive from the University of Houston–Victoria each semester. Instead, it’s the estimated amount you will pay to attend the college each year. It includes:

  • Tuition and fees
  • Room and board
  • Allowance for books and supplies
  • Transportation
  • Loan fees
  • Miscellaneous Personal Expenses

A Request to Change the COA form may be submitted to include other expenses like an allowance to buy a personal computer, pay dependent care, disability-related costs, or study abroad.

If you’re trying to budget for the upcoming school year, check out the COA in the table below. It shows estimated expenses for full-time graduate and undergraduate students. Your actual cost of attendance will vary based on the number of credit hours you register for, your residency status, housing choice, and lifestyle.
