* Notes
* Students living with parents may have $836 per semester included in their cost of attendance to cover meal costs. * Students living with parents may have $807 per semester included in their cost of attendance to cover room costs. * The Campus Access fee supports the provision of technology, recreation, and health and wellness services, as well as access to Division I athletic events and The Log (yearbook) to all full-time undergraduate students, whether they live on or off campus. This charge, previously bundled with housing rates, has been decoupled from housing so as to be shared more equitably among all undergraduate students who have access to these services. This is a common fee among our peer institutions who may, as we do, charge a single bundled fee, or who may charge several smaller fees. ** Heath Insurance rate updated in June 2026
Cost of Attendance Increase
The Office of Financial Aid uses average expenses for all students attending the University of Portland. If your expenses are higher than the standard Cost of Attendance included on your offer letter, complete and return a 2026-2027 Cost of Attendance Increase Request Form, available in the PilotsUP Portal. Cost of Attendance can be increased for costs such as a one-time computer purchase, health insurance, childcare, etc. Cost of Attendance cannot be increased to cover car payments or mortgage payments. In general, an increase to Cost of Attendance will result in eligibility for additional loans, not gift aid.
