Students from families just like yours afford Pacific every year. 为什么不是你呢??

常见问题

出勤费用 is an estimate of what it will cost for an undergraduate student to attend 博彩平台网址大全 for an academic year. 它可能会根据你的学习项目和项目费用而有所不同. 学费收费, 住房, meals and fees are subject to an annual increase to secure the highest quality instruction, 设施, 项目和服务.

Direct expenses are costs that are billed through the university and paid through your Pacific account for expenses directly related to your education. Such expenses typically include tuition and fees and on-campus 住房 (including meals) if you are living on campus.

Indirect expenses are built into your 出勤费用 to help with your financial planning, 但是他们并不是通过大学来收费的. Such expenses may include 书, transportation and living expenses (e.g.(租金及食物). 

The Office of 金融援助 uses the university’s charges for tuition, general fees and average 住房 and meal plans for the on campus COA. Course and specific program fees are not included in the averaged COA. The 住房 and meal plan costs are based upon double-occupancy dormitory 住房 and the silver meal plan. 书籍/用品的平均价格, transportation and personal expenses are based upon survey averages provided by the state of California (原子钟).

The costs for living expenses in the off-campus and living with parent(s) budgets are also based on averages provided by the state of California (原子钟). 

Federal law requires the Office of 金融援助 to limit the total assistance that students receive so that it does not exceed the COA. 如果学生获得奖学金的总和, 奖助金, loans and/or work-study that exceeds their COA the Office of 金融援助 is required to reduce the aid so that it is equal to or less than the COA. The Office of 金融援助 will always reduce self-help (loans and work-study) whenever possible before adjusting scholarships and 奖助金.

The COA is also critically important to the determination of the total eligibility for the Grad PLUS, 父母贷款, 替代贷款和其他类型的财政援助.

It is not possible for the Office of 金融援助 to anticipate every expense that a student might incur, thus the COA is only an estimate that may be useful for planning purposes. Students and their families should bear in mind that the COA does not include expenses that might occur due to unexpected healthcare events, 家庭紧急情况和其他不可预知的生活环境.

Since the COA includes costs such as transportation and other personal expenses, the total COA is going to be higher than your invoice from the university. 

Keep in mind that individual charges on your university invoice may be higher than the estimates in the COA. 举几个例子:

  • If your choice of residence is an on-campus single or an apartment, your 住房 charge on your invoice will be higher than the COA estimate.
  • 如果您选择黄金或白金用餐选项, the charge for your meal plan on your invoice will be higher than the COA estimate.
  • If you enroll for more than 18 units during the semester the tuition charge on your invoice will be higher than the COA estimate.

The expenses that can be included in the COA are determined by the U.S. 国会. Although the Office of 金融援助 does not have the authority to include expenses in the COA that are not specified in the governing statutes, 比如购买一辆车的费用, 我们可以考虑调整允许的费用.

Indirect costs can vary significantly depending upon factors such as where students live, 他们是否有室友, 他们项目所需的书籍和用品, 受抚养人护理费用, special dietary requirements as well as personal spending habits.  

如果你的住房成本, 食物, 书, transportation and/or your personal expenses are significantly higher than the estimates above, please contact the financial aid office on your campus to discuss the process for appealing for a possible increase in your COA.

Although the COA is used to determine the student’s total financial aid eligibility, 尤其是涉及到联邦援助的时候, international students may find that the COA is a helpful tool to estimate their costs and to plan their budgets for enrollment at the university. 

International students who travel to the university from locations outside the U.S. should expect to have transportation costs that are significantly higher than the estimates in the COA.

账单以学期为单位支付. 注册前, international students should have on deposit in the Finance Center an amount equal to their estimated semester charges. For students whose funds originate in countries where severe currency restrictions exist, 大学可能会要求学生预付学杂费. 大学保留更改费用的权利, 修改服务, 或随时更改节目,恕不另行通知.

注:像大多数美国人一样.S. universities, Pacific’s Board of Regents sets tuition each year. 董事会试图将涨幅保持在尽可能低的水平. In recent years, increases have averaged about 3 percent per year—less than most of our peers. Note that tuition and increases can vary between programs to meet specific needs
