Cost of Attendance
The Cost of Attendance (COA) is determined annually by the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships using the Consumer Price Index. It estimates the average costs a student may pay while attending college each academic year (fall and spring semesters). The different types of financial aid awarded to a student cannot exceed the COA and students can view their COA in their MyPima account.
The estimated COA lists average direct and indirect student expenses:
- Direct: Costs associated with going to school like tuition, fees, books and supplies.
- Indirect: Costs associated with living, such as room and board, personal expenses and transportation. Loan fees, if applicable, are included in indirect costs.

It is not possible to build all the different combinations of costs for the academic year. The figures are estimated and based on regular in-state and non-resident costs. They DO NOT include differential tuition, Lifetime Learners' benefits, online-only courses, or any students enrolling in more than 15 credit hours per semester.
If you have additional or unexpected expenses due to a special circumstance, a financial aid administrator may be able to adjust data elements to increase the COA.
