COA is the amount it will cost a student to go to school. Most two-year and four-year
colleges calculate their COA to show the total cost for the school year (for instance,
for the fall and spring semesters). Schools with programs that last a different period
of time (for instance, an 12-month certificate program) might show a COA that covers
a time period other than a standard academic year.
If you’re attending school at least half time, the COA is the estimate of
tuition and fees
books, course materials, supplies, and equipment;
cost of housing and food (or living expenses);
transportation expenses;
loan fees (excluding any loan fees for non-federal student loans);
miscellaneous expenses (including a reasonable amount for the documented cost of a
personal computer);
allowance for childcare or other dependent care;
costs related to a disability;
costs of obtaining a license, certification, or a first professional credential; and
reasonable costs for eligible study abroad programs.
