How to understand your Cost of Attendance

For summer, the Cost of Attendance is determined by the total number of units/sessions in which the student is enrolled. A student's housing budget is determined by the selection the student made during the academic year with the exception of on-campus. For summer financial aid, students are packaged either with an off-campus or commuter budget. Students planning to live on campus for the summer will need to submit a Summer Change in Aid form (available in May) and a copy of the lease to have their budget adjusted.

Where do I start?

1. Select the year and appropriate housing status
2. Identify the total amount of units and sessions in which you will be enrolled.
   • Please note, if the units and/or session(s) change, the cost of attendance may be adjusted.
3. Review the budget based on the units/session(s) enrolled:
   • Single Budget: enrolled in 6 or more units within one session only
   • Combo Budget: enrolled in 6 - 11.5 units with any combination of Session 1, Special Session, and/or Session 2
   • Double Budget: enrolled in 12 units or more with any combination of Session 1, Special Session, and/or Session 2

Summer Registration Fee

The Summer Registration Fee component is assumed the student is enrolled in 8 units for the single/ combo budget or 16 units for the double budget.

Students will be billed for actual enrolled units. Fees are charged on a $279 per unit basis and are subject to change without prior notice.
