The College is required by the federal government to derive a Cost of Attendance (COA) for several categories of students. These COAs are used to determine the eligibility for financial aid. The COA represents direct costs, like tuition and fees that you pay directly to the College, and indirect costs, like transportation for going to and from class.
The COA is an estimate of these charges, based on an average for this area, and will likely vary from your actual costs in each category. The COA is different for different groups of students and may vary depending on how many credits you are taking, if you live in or out of county, if you live at home or have your own place, etc. If you are enrolled less than half-time, your cost of attendance for financial aid cannot include room and board or miscellaneous expenses.
Please Note: The Cost of Attendance (COA) is not the actual cost to attend Union County College, it is an estimated determination of the direct and indirect cost which is used to determine each student’s eligibility for financial aid as well as the maximum amount each student can receive in financial aid.
Below are some examples of COA for Full-Time and Part-Time students.
