The Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of what it may cost you to attend Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ for one academic year. It includes tuition and fees, books and supplies, food, housing, transportation, and personal expenses. The Financial Aid Office uses the COA to calculate your eligibility for financial aid, and it can also help you plan and manage your personal budget. 

Your actual expenses may vary depending on your individual circumstances. We encourage students to plan ahead and determine their actual budget before enrolling. Helpful tools are available on our Financial Literacy Resources page.

Cost of Attendance VS. Tuition & Fees – What’s the Difference?

Tuition and fees are the direct charges from the college for enrolling in classes. The COA includes those charges plus estimated indirect expenses like housing, food, transportation, and other personal costs.
