Cost of Attendance
The Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of the cost of attending a Seattle Colleges institution for the standard academic year (Fall, Winter and Spring quarters). This amount is based on several factors including enrollment status and living arrangements. Amounts below are average estimates and are based on anticipated full-time enrollment at 15 credits. These budgets do not guarantee aid in the total amount and are instead used to determine the maximum amount of financial need a student has. Expected costs may vary.

Cost of Attendance Adjustment
Other costs can be included on a case-by-case and limited basis. Unusual expenses such as purchase of a computer (for education); other more expensive supplies, tools and uniforms; significant out-of-pocket medical, dependent care or sibling educational costs can also be taken under consideration.
Contact the financial aid office directly if you or your family has any of the requests. Note that some expenses may only be allowed one time, requests may be denied, and even if the request is granted, aid eligibility or programs may not change. Often, the expanded budgets only allow for additional student loan usage.
***Loan fees not included, as not all students will choose to borrow loans. Add a disclaimer on page that students’ cost will vary.
