Cost of Attendance (COA)

Cost of attendance (COA) estimates the total expenses for a student attending Motlow State, used in the formula for calculating Financial Aid Need.

The total figure includes estimates for tuition and mandatory fees; books, course materials, supplies, and equipment; living expenses (room and board), personal/miscellaneous expenses; and transportation. The Financial Aid Office uses the cost of attendance when calculating aid eligibility. It is only a representation of a student’s actual charges. Students and parents can use the cost of attendance to build a budget for the academic year. Please note all amounts are based on estimates. A student’s COA will change based upon their enrollment status and enrollment periods. All students are initially awarded based on a full-time, fall and spring COA. Their awards could change once their COA is updated to reflect their actual enrollment. These costs are subject to change each academic year. Note: financial aid awards may be adjusted and/or cancelled due to a change in COA to prevent and/or eliminate an over-award.
