Enrollment Assumptions: These costs are estimates based on enrollment in 15 credit hours in the fall semester and 15 credit hours in the spring semester. Enrollment in fewer credit hours or short sessions will change these cost estimates and may change your financial aid offer.
Housing Status: Notifying financial aid about a change in your housing status is important because it can affect your Cost of Attendance (COA) and the amount of financial aid you may be eligible for. We assume your housing status based on your dependency status in your financial aid record: dependent students are generally assumed to live with their parents, while independent students are considered to have their own living arrangements. To update your housing status, please email [email protected].
Net Price Calculator: The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s net price calculator provides the estimated price for attending full-time at Austin Community College. The calculation is based on what similar students paid in a previous year.
