Other costs of attendance (budget)

The cost of attending school goes beyond charges owed to the college. Other educational expenses a student should prepare for include such things as transportation, miscellaneous personal expenses, living expenses, dependent care, disability related expenses, and costs associated with professional licensure, certification, or a first professional credential. Each cost of attendance element is defined by law and is outlined in college policy 770 Cost of Attendance.

Annually the college prepares a cost of attendance budget which estimates a student's expenses. More information about how the budget is determined and disclosed is discussed in the college's cost of attendance policy. In addition, see consumer information item Cost of Attendance, as disclosed on the college's Consumer Information webpage. The current budget is available here: 23-24 Cost of Attendance/Budget. Costs are also published on each program page.
