If you plan to live on campus and are unsure if your Financial Aid Award will cover your housing costs, we recommend you visit the Housing & Residence Life Website for housing and meal costs. Once you determine the cost of housing and meals, refer to your GET Account to determine if you qualified for sufficient Financial Aid to cover your housing and meals.
You can also estimate your costs via the Cal State LA Net Price Calculator. The Net Price Calculator is intended to estimate costs for students. All awards produced by this calculator are estimated. If you provide inaccurate information, the result will be inaccurate.
Financial Aid and Scholarships understands that many of our Southern California students and prospective applicants may be facing challenges in meeting application deadlines or gathering necessary documentation.
