This webinar will highlight findings from JBAY’s upcoming report, College Costs Uncovered: An Examination of the Accuracy of College Cost of Attendance Budgets and Implications for Student Success. This report examines COA budgets and adjustment policies at California’s public higher education systems. Panelists will discuss how published COA budgets compare with regional cost of living expenses. In addition, panelists will provide recommendations on institutional practices and state policies to ensure COA budgets accurately reflect students’ true college costs and allow them to access critical financial aid that supports their academic success and higher education degree attainment.
