Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
Being that Contra Costa is a community college, you will certainly be getting the bang for your buck! I'm pretty sure I have saved thousands of dollars attending Contra Costa for two years, rather than going to a state school or private school for two years. Also, the Financial Aid Office is pretty helpful here and there are several other sources if more aid is needed.
