Undergraduate Costs of Attendance

Paying for college can be a daunting task, and JPCatholic is committed to making a quality Catholic education affordable for students and their families. Below you will find the listed cost for tuition and housing before any scholarships or financial aid is applied.

JPCatholic’s personalized scholarship process evaluates both Need and Merit, and a representative can also create a customized budgeting spreadsheet and counsel you on additional financial aid opportunities.

Whether you are just exploring JPCatholic for the first time, or you’ve already been accepted, we invite you to schedule a Financial Planning Consultation with one of our representatives.

• Explore what financial aid opportunities are available to you
• Receive more clarity on JPCatholic’s financial aid process
• Discuss your questions or concerns

Please Note:

• All our degree programs operate year round. Students finish their undergraduate degree program in 3 calendar years rather than the traditional 4 years. Each academic year at JPCatholic lasts for 3 quarters (9 months), and a student finishes in 12 quarters. See how it works.
• Students are billed quarterly, and the quarterly fees are one-third of the 9-month academic year total.
• Payments are due on the Friday before the first day of class for the quarter.

JPCatholic does not offer a meal plan; students cook for themselves and/or in community, using their fully furnished apartment kitchens.

All living expenses are variable and not payable to the University. For estimates, please evaluate your current cost of living and cost of living indexes. You may also consult the student expense budgets compiled by the California Student Aid Commission expense budgets (based upon averages from the 2018-2019 SEARS survey and adjusted for inflation or deflation; please see note at the bottom of the expense PDF).

Notes

1. Undergraduate tuition fees cover 12 or 15 units per quarter. 15 units per quarter are required to graduate in:
   3 calendar years ( = 4 academic years = 12 academic quarters).
2. Students taking less than 12 credits or more than 15 credit per quarter will receive a pro-rated bill. The cost of tuition per 3 units of credit (typically 3 credits = 1 course) equals the full-time tuition for the term divided by four. Their originally granted institutional financial aid will also be pro-rated; the student will receive the proportional amount of scholarship per course they received when taking a “full” (12-15 unit) class load.
3. Tuition includes all costs associated with the course, excluding textbooks and supplies.
4. In addition to tuition & fees, students are required to pay a one-time, non-refundable $200 enrollment fee. This fee is to be paid before the student is enrolled in any class.
5. Housing Fee: A $500 non-refundable deposit is required of all residential students. This fee must be paid prior to moving into the student apartments. This fee is collected in order to secure an apartment for the student in the upcoming quarter as well as pay for any damages and cleaning needed. The fee will not be applied towards the room expense.
6. Minimum Payment Frequency is Quarterly.
7. Late Payment Penalty: All tuition and fee payments are due by 5:00 PM on the Friday before the first day of class. Failure to pay by the required deadline will result in late payment charge of 4%. These penalties will be assessed on the total unpaid balance each quarter on the Friday following the start of classes, one week after the due date. The 4% penalty assessment on delinquent account balances takes place quarterly, on an ongoing basis until the entire outstanding balance is paid in full. If current or past account balances are delinquent, the University reserves the right to un-enroll current students from their classes. Please be aware that students with past-due account balances are not entitled to receive final grades, transcripts, a diploma or certificate, and/or other possible University-provided verifications until the balance is paid in full.
8. A parking permit issued by the Student Life Office is required for all students with a car; the cost will depend on whether the student is commuting or living on-campus. For detailed parking policy, please click herefor detailed parking policy.
9. Not all students may be eligible to live on campus. Please see Residential Policies and Housing Rules in the Student Handbook.

* Selection of the Single bedroom option (having a bedroom to yourself) is subject to availability.
