Cost of Attendance
The Cost of Attendance (COA) is provided as a guide when estimating the costs of specified programs at Seaver College. The COA is based on normal charges incurred by most students; however, individual charges may vary based on the student’s choice of housing, meal plan, program of study, total units enrolled, and other miscellaneous items.
These numbers are used when calculating and awarding financial aid as the estimated general charges for a student. Charges incurred by the student for books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses are not charged to the student account. A student may receive a refund check for these items only if an excess of aid results in a credit balance in the student account after financial aid has been applied to all charges.
2013-2014 Cost of Attendance
Flat-rate tuition (12-18 units per semester) . . . .$44,650 Room & Board (double occupancy half-room, meal plan) . . . .12,890 SGA Fee (student government activity fund) . . . .252 Books and supplies. . . .1,500 Transportation . . . .1,000 Personal Expenses . . . .900 TOTAL . . . .61,192 Billing
The online student account serves as the official student “bill.” The account will be updated automatically with every charge or credit posted to the student account. The amount due will be available by viewing the student account online through WaveNet and will reflect the charges, credits, amounts due, and specific due dates for each. Students are responsible for viewing their student account online, for noting the account balances due, and for making the appropriate arrangements for payment to be received by the Student Accounts Office by the due date.
In compliance with FERPA (Family Education Rights and Privacy Act), students who wish to grant parents or third parties access to their student account information or to allow the parent or third party the ability to make an online payment must do so by completing the Guest Access link on the student’s WaveNet account.
