- ܲFederal Direct student loans to cover tuition costsand some living expenses, and

- Year 2*: 34unitsat 2017-18 rate of $570 per quarter unit = $19,380 + $660 fees = $20,040
- Year 3*: 29quarter unitsat 2017-18 rate of $570 per quarter unit = $16,530 + $660 fees = $17,190
- Year 4*: 12quarter unitsat 2017-18 rate of $570 per quarter unit = $6,800 + $330 fees = $7,170
