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 Charges that are billed on your Cal Lutheran student account: Additional educational expenses not directly billed by Cal Lutheran: 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). Visit Financial Aid Appeals to learn more or request a COA Appeal. 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,
