A standardized set of budgets is used as the basis for determining the cost of attendance at ²©88ÑÇÖÞ. The figures used for all categories (except Tuition & Fees and On Campus Room & Board) represent the average expenses reported by ²©88ÑÇÖÞ students in the 2021 (SEARS), conducted by the California Student Aid Commission.  1,500 students from ²©88ÑÇÖÞ were contacted regarding the survey – and the response rate was 32.47%. 

Amounts are updated annually based on inflation and the Consumer Price Index for non-surveyed years.

No distinction is made with respect to the mode of instruction in determining costs – students enrolled in online courses or a fully online program have the same elements included in their cost of attendance budget.

  • On-Campus Food and Housing (Residence Halls) is based on the actual costs for a “Double Room” and the unlimited meal plan option, which provides for 21 meals per week. 
  • Off-Campus Food and Housing is based on the average amount reported by ²©88ÑÇÖÞ students on the 2021 SEARS survey.  These figures assume a roommate.
    • Food =  $827 per month
    • Housing = $1,314 per month
• Books, Course Materials, Supplies, and Equipment: The average amount students spend on books and educational supplies.
• Transportation:   The average transportation cost between campus, residences, and place of work (includes bus fare, gasoline, tolls, parking, etc.).  Amount does not include car payments, insurance, repairs or license fees.
• Personal Expenses:   The average amount for personal expenses which includes clothing, personal care, cell phone plan, and health care costs not covered by insurance.
• Federal Direct Loan Fees:   For students who borrow a Direct Loan, the average cost of the loan origination fee; for parents who borrow a Direct PLUS loan on behalf of their dependent student, the actual cost of the PLUS loan origination fee.
