The Estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of an average student's expenses while studying at JCU for one semester or a year. The COA includes both direct & indirect costs and is not the bill you receive from JCU.
Your actual expenses may be higher or lower than the COA depending on your personal budget and spending habits.
