Summer 2019 Cost of Attendance
The summer Cost of Attendance (COA) is based on your enrollment within the various parts-of-term. Your COA is assigned once you register for summer classes and will adjust as you drop and add classes until aid has been disbursed. If you receive a Federal SEOG or Federal TEACH Grant , your COA will be locked based on your enrollment within the various parts-of-term as of the census date of July 11th. Please contact the MT One Stop for questions regarding your summer Cost of Attendance.
