Cost & Aid

Coastline College = An Affordable Education

Coastline College is committed to finding low-cost or no costs ways for students to pursue a college education.  We believe attending college and fulfilling your academic goals should be affordable (and ideally free)!  Let us help you achieve your dreams.

*In addition to being a first-time college student or recent high school graduate, eligibility is based on being enrolled in 9 or more units. Eligibility is not dependent on financial need. Students are asked to complete a FAFSA or California DREAM Act so that Coastline can determine what other financial and support resources they might be eligible for.

Know Your Costs & Resources

Tuition & Fees - Coastline is approximately 4 times more affordable than a CSU school; more than 10 times more affordable than a UC.

Loans - Coastline's Financial Aid office can help determine if an educational loan is the right option for you.
