View student cost of attendance detail
Go to the student’s profile.
Go to Person Selected > F/A Packaging.
On the desired packaging row, click the pencil.
Scroll down and under Cost of Attendance review the COA Named Rule applied to the student if applicable. A custom rule allows you to build a cost of attendance using criteria outside of the standard criteria delivered by Campus Cafe.
To see more information about the cost of attendance, click To Student COA.
Campus Cafe displays at the top the ISIR/CPS Award Year associated with the cost of attendance and the CPS Transaction #.
Campus Cafe also displays a table listing the cost of attendance and associated information such at the amounts for tuition, housing, transportation, books and fees.
Add new cost of attendance
If a student’s financial situation or enrollment load changes, or a new year begins, you may need to add a new cost of attendance.
Go to the student’s profile.
Go to Person Selected > F/A Packaging.
On the desired packaging row, click the pencil.
Scroll down and click To Student COA.
In Academic Year, if you’re like most institutions and have one academic year per financial aid award year, enter 1. If your institution has multiple academic years within the same financial aid year, enter the corresponding number of the year. You may need to do this if you’re a clock hour / borrower based institution rather credit / semester based. Refer to Disbursement Term Rules for additional information on configuring multiple academic years within the same financial aid year.
Optionally in Semester select an academic period associated with this cost of attendance. Specific semesters are usually selected if one semester has more costs than another. Leave Semester blank (--choose one--) if creating a cost of attendance for a full year.
Click Add Costs. A new screen appears.
Enter the costs for each category of expenses. The Total Costs automatically sums the costs you enter.
If you enter Additional Costs describe this in the Additional Costs Label. For example, if you require all students to take your $800 student health insurance plan, you may label this “required health insurance.”
Click Save and Back to apply the cost of attendance to the student's ISIR package.
Repeat the process if you need to add additional costs of attendance.
Upon a COD export, all cost of attendance rows created for the specific ISIR will be summed to a total COA for use with COD/CPS originations.

Scroll down and click To Student COA.
