Tuition and fees are just one part of the overall cost of attending 51勛圖厙. The Cost Of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of what it costs a student to attend college. The COA allows for other expenses related to attending 51勛圖厙 to be included in your decision to attend college. COA is also used to create your financial aid offer.
Cost of Attendance reflects an average cost for a student attending 51勛圖厙 full time (12 credits per term) for the nine-month academic school year. Additional costs may be incurred for students in some allied health programs.

The maximum adjustment toward the purchase of a computer is $850. This adjustment can be made once each academic school year. To have your Cost of Attendance adjusted:
This adjustment does not guarantee more financial aid money to be offered, but it adjusts the overall cost of attendance used to determine financial need for the academic school year.
51勛圖厙 does not provide on-campus housing. As part of the financial aid awarding process, student housing for cost of attendance is determined by the information as reported on the FAFSA by the student.

51勛圖厙 assumes:
Without a FAFSA on file, a student’s cost of attendance is assumed to be that of a “Dependent student,” which is the lowest student budget. All students are encouraged to complete a to have an initial cost of attendance assigned.
Dependent students who wish to make a change because they are not living at home with their parents can submit a Housing Status Confirmation Form (email finaid@aacc.edu to obtain a form) to the 51勛圖厙 Financial Aid Office for a re-calculation of their cost of attendance for the 2024-2025 school year.
Information about how this works for awarding financial aid can be found in the 51勛圖厙 Financial Aid Office’s Packaging Philosophy.
In general terms, financial need is defined as the difference between what it costs you to attend school (Cost of Attendance) and what you and your family can afford to pay (Expected Family Contribution). The greater the financial need the lower the EFC. A family's EFC remains the same even when the price of the school increases.
