Cost of Attendance (COA)

Your college costs include more than tuition. The financial aid office will help determine your estimated cost of attending GCC for one year based on the information you enter on the FAFSA or CADAA application. When we build your budget, or cost of attendance, we allow for the following costs: tuition and mandatory fees, room and board whether you are living at home or away from home, books and supplies, transportation costs, and a modest personal expense allowance. Your cost of attendance may be adjusted, upon appeal, for other educationally related expenses that you may incur during your academic year. Please see special circumstances for more details. GCC provides a net price calculator that can help you determine your net costs after financial aid is applied to your account. This is a tool only, and your actual financial responsibility to GCC will be determined by the tuition office. View GCC estimated cost of attendance (pdf).
