Student cost of attendance budgets are developed each academic year by the OCOM Office of Financial Aid and are dependent on tuition and fee structures set by the governing board. The cost of attendance (COA) may be an estimate early in the financial aid award process and is subject to change. The cost of attendance is used to evaluate financial needs and award aid and provides students with an estimate of the reasonable cost of OCOM attendance. Standard student budgets are based on typical expenses for a single student. Costs for a student's spouse or children are not included in the standard student budget.
