Fee Breakdown at Mission College
Cost of Attendance (COA) is the estimated cost to attend college based on fulltime attendance during the academic year (9-months-Fall/Spring).
While your individual costs may vary, the COA reflects a modest living allowance. COA is used to determine a students financial need. It is primarily used to create a cap on the total of need-based financial aid awards such as CCPG, Pell, State aid, and others.
