The Cost of Attendance (COA) figures provide an estimate of costs to attend Cedar Valley College for a traditional nine_month academic year. The Financial Aid Office must ensure any federal, state or local financial aid award does not exceed a student's COA. The COA for the colleges of DCCCD is revised and recorded annually with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
Elements of the official Cost of Attendance (COA) include:
- Tuition
For purposes of financial aid, tuition is based on half-time enrollment. The actual costs that a student incurs will vary depending upon the student's degree or certificate program and the enrollment status. Please visit the Tuition page in the catalog to learn more about actual tuition rates.
- Room and Board
The figures used to determine this portion of the COA are reasonable estimates of cost of living in Dallas while attending school. Actual costs may vary by individual choices, location, and circumstances. The Financial Aid Office will not increase the COA based on individual choices unless extenuating circumstances are presented to and accepted by the Financial Aid Office.
- Books
These costs are estimated based on the bookstores of DCCCD colleges.
- Transportation
The transportation allowance is based on an average of public transportation.
- Personal Expenses
This is a reasonable allowance for miscellaneous personal expenses during the enrollment period.
An individual student's COA will vary according to the number of registered credit hours, residency status, and housing choices.
