Educational Costs
The Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of school-related expenses the a learner can expect to have for the academic year of enrollment. The COA is composed of the following categories: tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, transportation, and some personal expenses. These components are determined by law, Higher Education Act of 1965, section 472, and are designed to cover the educational-related expenses of the learner.
The Cost of Attendance is based on estimated figures and may not accurately reflect individual learner costs. The combination of the direct and indirect costs will be used to determine financial aid.
