  1. The mandatory Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) may be waived upon submission of proof of a comparable health insurance policy. Waiver forms are available on the University Health Services (UHS) web page in PDF format. Waiver requests must be submitted by August 31st for entering students; by July 15th for continuing students.
  2. Room and board costs are on the conservative side and assume careful budgeting as well as sharing living quarters with at least one other person. Please be aware that your expenses may be higher depending on your personal lifestyle.
  3. This budget does not include items such as consumer (credit card) debt. We recommend that you reduce these obligations before you enter school, as they cannot be considered in your financial aid budget under federal regulations. The budget does not include the costs of the Haas Summer Workshops (Quantitative and Communication), as these are optional.

Estimated Haas Student Expenses

These figures have been determined by the university primarily for financial aid purposes. If you apply for financial aid, the official budget costs will be used to determine aid eligibility. There is general consensus among Haas students, however, that these numbers do not reflect a typical Haas student's actual living expenses.

If a spouse or partner is accompanying you to Haas, plan an additional $7,000 per nine months for her/his expenses. If a child is accompanying you, budget an additional $5,000 per academic year.
