Paying for college shouldn’t be a barrier to your education or your success. Make college possible with WCJC financial aid and scholarships. We’ll help you every step of the way.
The cost of attendance includes expenses that are determined by the institution (tuition/fees) and expenses that are flexible based on student choices (books and supplies, housing and meals, miscellaneous, and transportation costs). These combined tuition and other expenses represent the entire cost of attendance for a full-time student (15 credit hours/semester) during one academic year. Individual expenses will vary based on student-specific majors, courses, living arrangements, and personal spending decisions.
The Cost of Attendance is part of what the Financial Aid Office uses to determine your aid eligibility and offer. It is considered a budget your Financial Aid Offer cannot exceed. If you believe your Cost of Attendance does not accurately reflect your basic educational expenses, you may request a Cost of Attendance Appeal Form at finaid@wcjc.edu.
All scenarios are for full-time students. Costs subject to change.
