The Cost of Attendance (COA) estimates the average expenses based on the local cost of living information for nine months. A student’s actual expenses will vary based on your lifestyle choice and living arrangements. The COA includes tuition and fees, room and board, books, supplies, and other expenses. LSSC uses the COA to determine each student’s eligibility for financial aid, such as grants and loans. The information is based on a full-time (15 credits) student estimate.
