The Cost of Attendance (COA) is a budget reflecting the estimated costs associated with enrollment at Trinity in a given year.
The COA is used by the Office of Financial Aid to determine eligibility for financial assistance. It includes expenses like tuition and fees that are billed for directly by the University, and indirect expenses (not billed for by the University) like transportation or books and supplies. Since many Trinity students receive some measure of financial assistance, the actual costs that students incur are often less than the COA.
