Standard 9-Month Cost of Attendance (COA)

The Cost of Attendance below is an estimate for Fall/Spring semesters.

The Shasta College Financial Aid Office creates a Cost of Attendance (also referred to as a Student Budget) in accordance with the California Community College Chancellor's Office and California Student Aid Commission guidance. Please keep in mind the COA is an estimate and each student's financial situation will be different. We highly recommend students plan ahead and determine their true budget for the academic year prior to enrolling.  Helpful resources on budgeting can be found on our Financial Literacy website: www.shastacollege.edu/fa_finlit
