A new law mandates that universities all have a "net price calculator" located on their websites by Oct. 29, according to USA Today. The measure, part of the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, outlines the net price calculator as a way for current and prospective students and their families to estimate the total cost for a given college, according to USA Today. The net price calculators will not include private scholarships and grants, but they will account for whether a student is living on campus, how many hours of courses they plan to take and federal scholarships, grants and financial aid. A number of admissions and financial aid offices contacted by USA Today did not know about the mandate, USA Today reported. Dartmouth's Office of Financial Aid currently offers a net price calculator tool on its website. The calculator estimates a family's expected contribution to tuition fees by assessing information on taxes, income and other financial obligations, according to the website.
