The BMCC Financial Aid Office establishes yearly standard student budgets as a basis for awarding financial aid funds. The following budgets are based on full-time enrollment for fall, winter, and spring term. The budget is prorated for less than full-time attendance.
By definition, full time is 12 or more credits in a term. However, for purposes of establishing a budget, full time costs have been calculated based on 15 credits per term, which has been shown to be the average credit load for full time students at BMCC.
The Cost of Attendance (COA) Budget is the estimated cost of attendance at BMCC. The COA is not an exact statement of what it will cost to attend, nor is it necessarily what will be offered in awards. It is merely an estimate of expenses and the ceiling, or maximum, a student can be awarded in aid.
A budget adjustment can be requested if documented acceptable expenses that are not included in this budget exists, such as childcare costs. Budget adjustments are automatically made by the Financial Aid Office for programs of study with special budgetary needs such as Diesel Technology and Nursing. For any COA budget questions, contact the Financial Aid office at 541-278-5779 or email at FinancialAid@bluecc.edu.
The COA is based on the following average direct and indirect costs:
Tuition and Fees: Set annually by BMCC’s Board of Education. (Direct cost)
Books and Supplies: An estimate of average costs for the academic year. These costs incorporate: books, course materials, supplies and equipment, (Direct cost)
Living Expenses: An estimate of average food and housing costs based on double occupancy and off-campus housing. Students living at home will have this amount pro-rated. (Indirect cost)
Personal and Transportation: An estimate of possible expenses for personal items, clothing, recreation, and travel. (Indirect cost)
The cost of attending includes tuition, fees, books, and supplies. BMCC requires students to pay tuition costs by the 5th day of the term or to develop a payment plan.

To determine your residency status for tuition purposes, please review the information below.
In-State Residency: You, the student, must meet at least one of the following requirements to be considered “in-state” for tuition purposes:
Out-of-State Residency: Students will pay out-of-state tuition if they list their state of legal residence as a state other than Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Nevada, Montana, or California. This excludes students who have provided documentation to establish In-State residency as indicated by this policy.
To apply for In-State residency, complete BMCC’s Proof Of Oregon Residency web form below.
International: Students who are citizens of another country and are attending BMCC on a F-1 or M-1 student or other visa will pay the international tuition rate.
Guidelines: Students who graduate from a high school other than in Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Nevada, Montana, or California within the last two years will be considered out-of-state residents and may be required to provide proof of Oregon residency.
Residency criteria requirements apply to readmission of students who have established residency in another state since their last enrollment at the college. This will be checked at the time of readmission to the college.
Students attending on F-1 or M-1 Visa’s do not qualify for in-state residency.
Students that establish their 90-day residency requirement during their current term of enrollment will be granted in-state residency status for their following term of enrollment for the academic year in which they applied for residency. (Example: student meeting 90-day residency requirement during fall term 2018 will be eligible for in-state residency winter term 2019 or their next term of enrollment for the 2018- 19 academic year).
Alaska residents who wish to receive the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend while attending BMCC should consult their state agency prior to applying for in-state residency as it may affect their ability to receive these funds.
