Cost of Attendance

The cost of attendance (COA) is based on the average estimates for your education-related expenses while attending GRCC. COA is used to help determine your financial aid eligibility.

COA minus your expected family contribution (or EFC, a number determined through the FAFSA) equals your financial need for aid eligibility.

COA varies based on residency status, housing arrangements, enrollment status, and program. It includes a provision for the following estimated expenses:

  • Tuition.
  • Fees.
  • Room and board.
  • Books and supplies.
  • Transportation.
  • Miscellaneous personal expenses.
  • Loan fees.

Please note: The Cost of Attendance (COA) budget is based on a student being enrolled full time in two consecutive semesters. GRCC will adjust the estimates if you enroll in only one semester or in three semesters.  Additionally, the estimated costs will be prorated based on a student's actual enrollment status.  For example, the COA estimates in certain categories (such as tuition and fees, books and supplies, and transportation) for a half-time student, enrolled in 6 - 8 credits will be half of the estimates for a full-time student.  Additionally, the COA for students enrolled in less than six (6) credits will include only estimates for tuition and fees, books and supplies, and transportation.  The estimated cost of a computer is included only for the first academic year that a student is enrolled at GRCC.
