Attendance cost
Cost of Attendance (CoA)
The Cost of Attendance (COA) will be provided to you on your Financial Aid Letter once you have completed your FAFSA. The CoA is an estimate of your educational related costs for the academic year less any scholarships that you have been awarded (from any source).
GCU will provide a 5% early payment discount which is calculated after all other GCU scholarships are deducted from tuition fees to all Title IV eligible students without regard to when their charges are paid

The CoA for students studying at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) is set by the Student Funding Team and is increased in line with inflation for each academic year. These educational costs relate only to you, the student. These costs cannot include costs for partners or children (other than childcare or nursery costs). These broad based costs can be broken down as follows as a guide as to how much you may need for your year of study:
The Cost of Attendance consists of two elements:
Tuition costs
Living costs.
Please note, whilst your CoA can include Travel, we cannot issue loan payments before the beginning of the academic year so you should not rely on your first payment to finance your travel to GCU Glasgow or GCU London
If you are eligible for a Subsidized loan, your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) will also be deducted from a CoA figure to establish your ‘financial need’.
For the academic year 2023/24, the cost of attendance exchange rate will be 1.40
The maximum Cost of Living paid to students (with no dependents) in 2023/24 have been listed below.
Direct Loans incur fees and interest and must be repaid so do not borrow more than you need.
