2012 - 2013 Catalog
Cost of Attendance

The Cost of Attendance (COA) figures provide an estimate of what it costs to attend Eastfield College for a traditional nine_month academic year. The Financial Aid Office must make sure that any federal, state or local financial aid awarded does not exceed a student's COA. The COA for the colleges of DCCCD is revised and recorded annually with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

Elements of the official Cost of Attendance (COA) include:

• Tuition
  Eastfield College estimates tuition for our students for financial aid purposes. The actual costs that a student incurs will vary depending upon the student's degree or certificate program and the classes enrolled. Please visit the Tuition page in the catalog to learn more about actual tuition rates.
• Room and Board
  The figures used to determine this component of the COA are reasonable estimates of what it would cost to live in Dallas while attending school. Actual costs may vary by individual choices related to location and circumstances, but the Financial Aid Office will not increase the COA based on individual choices unless extenuating circumstances are presented to and accepted by the Financial Aid Office.
• Books
  The costs are estimated using information from local bookstores.
• Transportation
  The transportation allowance is for a student to get to and from the college campus, not to maintain a vehicle. DART transportation is available to most of the colleges.
• Personal Expenses
  This part of the COA is for personal living expenses during the enrollment period. Actual expenses will vary.

An individual student's COA will vary according to the number of registered credit hours, residency status, housing choices, and personal expenses.
