Cost and Aid

The Cost of Attendance (COA) is the estimated cost to attend CSUMB during the 9-month academic year (August to May). While your individual costs may vary, the COA reflects a modest living allowance.  Figures are from CSU’s recommended standard student budgets in conjunction with CSAC’s Student Expense Budgets. In CSUMB COA, we include the following items:

  • Tuition and Fees
  • Books, Course materials, supplies, and equipment
  • Living expenses
  • Transportation 
  • Miscellaneous
  • Direct Loan origination fees (for those who borrow a Federal Direct loan)
