The academic year budget, or Cost of Attendance (COA), includes actual costs for which Columbia College Hollywood will bill you such as tuition, registration and related fees, and room and board (if you live on campus). Also included in this budget are estimated costs for indirect expenses, such as books, supplies, personal expenses, travel, and off-campus rent and food associated with attending CCH.
Dollar amounts other than tuition and fees are based upon a combination of federal regulations and cost surveys. We use a standard budget for financial aid purposes to ensure equitable distribution of resources. Some students will spend more than our estimates, and others will spend much less.
The COA budget also serves as a ceiling on the amount of financial aid you can receive including loans. Students and families may not borrow or receive funds in excess of their academic year budget. In determining how much you may borrow in a private alternative loan, please subtract any other financial aid/loans that are already included in your award letter. The projected annual cost of attendance (three quarters of 12 – 16 units per quarter) at Columbia College Hollywood consists of a combination of academic expenses and living expenses. Again, keep in mind that the living expense estimate is just that, an estimate. Live with Mom and Dad, or Aunt Susan, and your living expense estimate will be much less.
