Platt College-Riverside

What is the cost of studying for a year at Platt College-Riverside?

For 2024-25, Platt College-Riverside reported average full-time undergraduate tuition of $14,847 for both in-state and out-of-state students, with $0 in separately reported required fees. Tuition is not the full cost of attendance: students may also need to budget for books, equipment, transportation, living expenses, and program-specific requirements.

• 2024-25 average full-time undergraduate tuition, in-state: $14,847.
• 2024-25 average full-time undergraduate tuition, out-of-state: $14,847.
• 2024-25 separately reported required undergraduate fees: $0.

Net price is a different measure: it estimates what students pay after grant and scholarship aid, while including expenses beyond tuition. Among students in families with annual income of $0-$48,000, the reported average net price was $22,165. For the $48,001-$75,000 income group, it was $21,361. A net price above published tuition is possible because the calculation includes living and other attendance costs.

Those averages are not a personal bill. Request the cost-of-attendance budget and an itemized price for the exact program and enrollment period, then compare them with a financial aid offer. In particular, establish whether equipment, examinations, clinical requirements, and any repeated courses would add to the amount financed.

Financial aid is material to that calculation. In the 2024-25 reporting period, 89% of students received financial aid and 87% had student loans; the latter figure makes it especially important to separate grants, which generally do not require repayment, from borrowed funds. Students seeking federal aid should complete the FAFSA and discuss federal grants, loan eligibility, and applicable California aid with the financial aid office. Veterans should also confirm that their specific program is approved for the education benefit they intend to use.

What are the work-study opportunities at Platt College-Riverside?

A part-time job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are different ways to combine work with college. Students considering employment while attending Platt College-Riverside should first check how the program's class and practical-training hours would fit a work schedule.

Federal Work-Study, where offered to an eligible student, is need-based financial aid earned through an approved job; it is not a grant paid in advance or a guarantee of employment. Ask the financial aid office whether it participates, how eligibility is determined through the FAFSA, and where students apply for approved positions. Ordinary off-campus employment does not require a Work-Study award, but its hours can still conflict with attendance or clinical requirements.

The college's career-focused programs may include practical learning connected to an occupation. Such an experience should not be assumed to be paid. Applicants should establish whether an externship or clinical placement is required, who arranges it, and what schedule and travel it involves.
