MACC is excited to provide students with a Financial Aid Portal which provides one unique location for important information related to their financial aid. To log in, use your myMACC/CANVAS user name and password. Click the links below to learn more.
Your Financial Aid Offer lists all estimated institutional, federal and state aid offered to you to attend Moberly Area Community College. These amounts are subject to change based on several eligibility factors, such as (but limited to) the number of credit hours in which you are enrolled in your declared degree program and academic progress status.
If you have not applied for financial aid, you may use the Financial Aid Checklist to help guide you through the process.
MACC uses a Cost of Attendance (COA) to calculate student financial aid. The COA is a reasonable estimate of the cost of attending MACC. This is not the amount you owe the college. To help you calculate your direct charges owed to MACC we have created an 2022-2023 estimated cost worksheet.
The Cost of Attendance (COA) is the maximum amount of aid a student may receive from all types of aid combined. The Financial Aid Office establishes standard student budgets (also known as the COA) each year as a basis for awarding financial aid funds. These budgets reflect typical “modest but adequate” expense patterns of Moberly Area Community College students based on survey results. While actual expenses will vary based on each student’s lifestyle and level of enrollment, the estimated costs used in the cost of attendance should assist students with planning their own budgets.
We strongly recommend each student to create a modest and conservative budget and stick to it. The four C’s – cars, clothes, credit cards, and calls – can bust your budget! Remember this quote: “It is better to live ‘like a college’ student while you’re in college, than after you graduate.”
The components of the MACC Cost of Attendance (COA) are described below:
The fees and tuition component used in the COA is based on the average costs for a typical MACC student, using the average of the Tier 1 and Tier 2 rates. The actual costs a student incurs will vary depending on their residency status and enrollment choices. A list of current fees and tuition for all MACC courses and students are available online on our Fee and Tuition website.
If you have not enrolled, you may calculate your charges by multiplying the number of credit hours in which you plan to enroll by the cost per credit hour, as listed on our Fee and Tuition website.
If you are already enrolled you may view your account balance on myMACC, following these steps:
Unless a student has contracted housing and/or a meal plan with MACC, their housing is discretionary and costs can vary significantly based on their living arrangements and personal choices. We suggest each student carefully evaluate their costs incurred when choosing to live off-campus. If you live off-campus, you may save money by having roommates. Students who live at home and commute to campus will reduce housing and meal costs significantly.
Independent students and Dependent students not living at home | $4,268 per semester | |
Dependent students living at home | $1,904 per semester | |
Students living in dorm ($1,500) w/ All-Access meal plan ($1,750) | $3,250 per semester |
The amounts for the off-campus housing and meals component of the COA were based on student survey results. The option used in each student’s COA will be based on information provided on the student’s FAFSA.
To learn more about MACC’s housing and meal options, visit our College Housing page.
The books and supplies component is $312 per semester. These costs vary by program, course load, and classes selected; this amount was determined by student survey results.
MACC offers e-Books and other electronic resources for many classes. A Course Resource Fee is directly billed to students’ accounts at the time of registration. The fee gives students “day one” access to eResources, an eBook, and in some courses an online lab through Canvas. This fee is course specific and listed on the Student Data Sheet. To see a complete list of courses with Course Fees go the Fees and Tuition.
The travel allowance is $298 per semester. This allowance includes costs for operating and maintaining a vehicle which is used to transport the student to and from school, but not for the purchase of a vehicle. Each student’s actual cost may vary depending on how far and often they travel for class meetings. We recommend car-pooling as a means for reducing transportation costs. The amount is based on student survey results which indicated the average MACC student travels 39 miles each week to attend classes; multiplied by 49 cents per mile, which is the State of Missouri mileage reimbursement rate.
The allowance for personal and miscellaneous expenses is $696 per semester. This amount was determined by student survey results. This category represents every other student expense, such as: cell phone, clothes, personal hygiene, entertainment, etc. It is the most variable and personal component of anyone’s budget. Personal spending can make or break a college budget! The most important thing is to set yourself an allowance, keep track of your expenses, and stick to your budget.

The College Financing Plan is a consumer tool that institutions use to notify students about their financial aid package.
The U.S. Department of Education created a standardized financial aid “College Financing Plan” to simplify information for new undergraduate students. This consumer tool was designed to help students make informed decisions about higher education and provide families with a tool to compare the Net Cost (total cost minus grants and scholarships) at different institutions. It provides a simplified overview of your financial aid, and should be considered supplemental information to your MACC Financial Aid Offer and Offer Guide.

Although the recommended loan amount is zero, you may find the maximum you are eligible to borrow by reading the Loan Application Guide on our Financial Aid Forms website. We recommend conservative borrowing, and encourage students to borrow only as much as they need.
