Tuition and Costs

With our tuition guarantee, you won't have to worry about finding more money for tuition every year at ASL.

Tuition is guaranteed to remain at the same level for the the duration of your continuous attendance at ASL as when you begin your studies. Your tuition will change only if there is a disruption in your enrollment or you drop from full-time to part-time status. 

Tuition, fees, and indirect expenses such as living expenses and books are included in a budget called the Cost of Attendance, found below. Federal law governs allowable costs that may be included in the COA, an estimate of a student's educational expenses for the period of their enrollment.

Federal regulations dictate that the student COA cover only expenses incurred during enrollment periods and include only education-related expenses. Items that regulations exclude from the COA are:

  • car lease or purchase
  • car repair
  • car insurance
  • moving expenses
  • expenses incurred outside of the student's actual period of enrollment
  • financial support of a spouse or partner
  • interview and/or professional wardrobe
  • consumer credit-card debt

In special circumstances, students may be permitted to receive an increase in their COA. Please visit the Financial Aid Office or click here for additional information.

Tuition and fees for each semester are due no later than the first day of classes. Students who will not pay their tuition and fees in full by the due date must have finalized satisfactory arrangements to receive financial aid.
