Affordable Costs Tuition makes up the largest chunk of the cost of attending a school. This tends to be similar for every student. However, it’s important to remember that the cost of tuition can also be affected by your major and number of credit hours you take per semester or quarter.
Fees are also a part of the COA. What the fees cover depends on the school. Some are “green” fees to cover any energy costs and others may charge a fee for enrolling.
