The cost of attendance (COA) is the total amount it will cost to go to college each year and it is not necessarily the bill that you may get from your college. The COA includes tuition/fees, living expenses (food & housing), allowances for books, supplies, transportation, etc.
Based on the information you and your family provided on the FAFSA and CADAA, a Financial Aid Specialist will be able to determine your financial aid eligibility using both your COA, Student Aid Index (SAI) and Other Financial Assistance (OFA) .
Cost of Attendance Formula
The formula for determining a student’s need remains the same, except that EFC has been replaced by SAI and EFA has been replaced by OFA. When determining a student’s need, an institution will use the following formula:
Cost of Attendance (COA) minus Student Aid Index (SAI) minus Other Financial Assistance (OFA) equals need.
COA – SAI – OFA = Need
*Cost estimates are based on student's enrollment of 12 units (each Fall, Spring term)
