Cost of Attendance
Estimate
The cost of attendance (COA) is an estimate of what it costs the typical student to attend Alaska Pacific University. Your COA doesn’t just cover your college tuition; it takes into account your basic living expenses. Room and board will vary based on lifestyle preference. Some courses have fees, such as lab fees, that are not included in mandatory fees listed. Credits may vary by program and semester and year.
When comparing financial aid packages from other schools, make sure you are comparing the total cost of attending that school, not just the total financial aid awarded. It is important for you to budget and make wise decisions regarding how to utilize the financial aid funds you receive.
