Financial Aid

2012 - 2013 Cost of Attendance

The Cost of Attendance (COA), is an estimated budget comprised of anticipated tuition, fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation allowance, and a personal expense allowance. Non-traditional students’ budgets may include a dependent care allowance upon request. You can increase the COA one time for a computer while at Central. Other “education-related expenses” can be added to the student budget if proper documentation is submitted to the Financial Aid Office.

*These calculations are based on attendance of half-time or more— adjustments will be made for less-than-half-time attendance.

**In financial aid context, the term "commuter" means "living with family".
