Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary
Students of Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary can view tuition and fees on the
PLTS website.
Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of your costs as a student at Cal Lutheran
for the academic year. It is used in determining a student's eligibility for federal,
state, and institutional need-based financial aid.
COA is made up of direct costs and indirect costs — including tuition, mandatory fees, estimated amounts for books and supplies, housing
and food, personal expenses, and transportation. See details about COA elements
Direct Costs
Charges that are billed on your Cal Lutheran student account:
Tuition
Mandatory fees
On-campus housing
Meal plans
Indirect Costs
Additional educational expenses not directly billed by Cal Lutheran:
Transportation
School supplies
Miscellaneous personal expenses
Off-campus food and housing
Cost of Attendance Appeal
Students who wish to have educational or living expenses above and beyond Cal Lutheran's
standard Cost of Attendance considered by the Financial Aid office must submit a Cost
of Attendance Appeal Form. Actual expenses such as the purchase of a computer, study
abroad, or dependent care expenses may be included in the appeal, along with supporting
documentation (invoice/receipt).
COA components and amounts are compiled annually based on federal regulations and
institutional policy to ensure that the cost of receiving a higher education at Cal
Lutheran is accurately and realistically represented to students. COA is subject to change without notice. The university reserves the right to change,
delete or add to the cost of attendance as deemed appropriate.

Living on campus as a graduate student immerses you in the Cal Lutheran experience.
Professors will regularly interact with you both in and out of the classroom. You'll
have the opportunity to participate in campus activities to whatever degree suits
you and your studies.

California region. They are all within easy walking distance of classes, labs, academic
departments, dining options, recreational facilities, the library, health services,
and other campus offices.
