Your Cost of Attendance (COA) is an ESTIMATE of the expenses you might encounter while attending Atlanta Technical College. Your COA includes more than just tuition and fees. The COA is comprised of tuition, general fees, books, course materials, supplies and equipment, housing and food, personal expenses and transportation. Additional items may be included depending on a student’s individual circumstances. Most programs’ COAs are based on a full-time, nine-month enrollment period, unless otherwise noted.
The Cost of Attendance is not a student’s actual charges. The Cost of Attendance is strictly used by the Office of Financial Aid to determine financial aid eligibility. These figures may not be directly reflected on a student’s bill. To see your cost of attendance, log on to your student Tiger Portal.
