Understand the Full Cost of Attendance

TCC's lower cost of tuition is among the reasons many students choose to attend, but it is important for students to understand the full Cost of Attendance (COA), beyond just tuition.

The cost of attendance is what the College estimates it may take for you to attend TCC for one year, including direct and indirect expenses. Direct expenses will be owed to TCC. Indirect expenses are not paid to TCC, these are living expenses you may incur while attending TCC.

Direct: Costs associated with going to school like tuition, fees, books, and supplies.
Indirect: Costs associated with living, such as food and housing costs, personal expenses, and transportation. Student Loan fees, if you choose to receive student loans, are included in indirect costs. Indirect costs are not paid to TCC, these are living expenses you may incur while enrolled in college.

The cost of attendance is also important for financial aid recipients because it is used to determine their maximum financial aid eligibility. It is the absolute maximum the college can award you in the various types of financial aid, including aid you may receive from sources outside of TCC.

If Your Expenses Go Beyond Your COA

If you have expenses beyond those incorporated into the cost of attendance (COA), we may be able to increase your COA and award additional aid (usually additional student loans if you have not already met the yearly limit). Expenses may include, but are not limited to, buying a computer or laptop, or required expenses for your program.

Speak to any financial aid representative to begin this process.

2024-2025 Cost of Attendance (COA)

Your personal Cost of Attendance (COA) can be accessed through the Financial Aid and Scholarships Dashboard.

The figures provided below represent average costs for comparing attendance expenses. However, the actual cost of attendance may vary depending on individual circumstances. These estimates are based on full-time enrollment for both Fall 2024 and Spring 2025, with 12 credits per term, totaling 24 credit hours for the academic year.

The listed expenses make up an average student's total COA. Depending on your situation, some or all of these expenses may be reflected in your personal cost of attendance. If you are enrolled in 5 credits or less (less than half-time), not all expenses shown will be reflected in your COA. Some programs may show additional costs in your COA.
