Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
I have had great pleasure in attending a college that not only has met my educational needs, but as well as my financial needs. Student Aid is definitely attainable in this college, but for those who pay their way through college on their own terms, its also a great place for that. The prices per unit is great sticking to $20.00 a unit and not going up much by these budget cuts coming around soon. Overall its a great place to meet your goals.

I must say attending the school is the best thing tuitions are cheap. But the book prices are ridiculous at the school book store. But students have a system of buying books from other students 2 times less than the bookstore. There is also great financial aide for students. And scholarships avaible for all atudents. And there are jobs in and out of campus avaible.
Dana from Saint Lucia
When it comes to a good education, everyone fears the thought of the large costs that come along with it. Although this may be true for a lot of UC's and Cal States, College of the Canyons definitely gives students more bang for their buck. They provide several financial opportunties along with inexpensive tuition and cost of books that in-state students pay less than $1,000 annually.

COC totally saves money. I was able to finish all the general eds and transfer to the school I wanted all in 2 years. Right now there are a lot of students and it is hard to get classes, but if you really are motivated the community college will save a person so much money. Tuition is so much cheaper than at a 4-year. Almost all of my classes transferred over so I got the same credit as students who took the same class I did at COC but it cost them way more. Just for one semester at a Cal State I just spent around $3,000 just on tuition. At COC one semester of tuition and books still cost less than $1,000. I think that proves that the community college really does give you more bang for your buck.
