Case Western Reserve University reserves the right to adjust the cost of attendance because of unexpected campus closures and/or adjustments to the academic calendar. These circumstances could include, but not be limited to, a sudden natural disaster or health crisis. In these situations financial aid eligibility is adjusted accordingly.
Additional Fees
Students in a nursing program may also have an additional $1,450 in fees.
Case Western Reserve University will add a transportation allowance of up to $2,000 based on your home state of residence.
Case Western Reserve University is primarily a residential university, and we believe undergraduate students benefit from living on campus. Your financial aid eligibility is determined by subtracting your family contribution from the cost of attendance (tuition, fees, living expenses, books and personal expenses). For returning students who choose to commute from home, live off campus (not with family) or in Greek housing, the university will adjust the housing and meal plan portion of your cost of attendance and any need-based grant will be adjusted accordingly.
