The Cost of Attendance or (COA) is sometimes called the Cost of Education and sometimes a student's "budget." It is composed of standard tuition, fees, books, supplies, personal expenses, transportation, and room and board. COA is the estimated amount that it will cost a student to attend the University of South Alabama during the nine-month academic year using standard costs.
