In addition to the fixed direct cost listed in the Tuition and Fees section of this catalog, the CIA is required to estimate a cost of attendance (COA) that includes indirect costs such as personal expenses and transportation. While the COA can be one of the more confusing aspects of the financial aid process, it gives the student and the student's family an idea of what costs might be incurred beyond tuition and fees so they can plan accordingly. It is important to differentiate between direct and indirect costs, as indirect costs are simply estimates used by SFRS during the awarding process to determine a student's financial need, while direct costs are actual amounts that will be charged to the student's account. See the charts below for the average COA by campus and program.
Keep in mind that SFRS can only award students an amount of aid equal to or less than their associated cost of attendance budget. Students who have questions regarding their budget, would like consultation in planning their budget, or would like copies of the cost of attendance should contact SFRS. For more information about COA, view this video.
