Financial Aid Student Budget

The following budgets are based on full-time enrollment for Fall, Winter and Spring terms. Your cost of attendance (financial aid student budget) is based on average costs and includes:
  • Tuition and Fees: Set annually by RCC's Board of Education.
  • Books and Supplies: An estimate of average costs for the academic year.
  • Room and Board: An estimate of average costs based on double occupancy and off-campus housing. Students living at home will have this amount pro-rated.
  • Personal and Transportation: An estimate of possible expenses for personal items, clothing, recreation and travel.
  • Loan Fees: Covers a portion of the fee for all loan recipients (only added to those students that are receiving federal student loans from RCC).
