Net price (after aid): $27,536
Most students pay the net price after financial aid, not the sticker price.
Net price by family income

Can federal loans cover it? (2026 limits)
For families earning $0 – $30k, $30k – $48k, $48k – $75k, $75k – $110k, $110k+, the average net price here is above the $25,500 a first-year dependent student and their parents can borrow federally from 1 July 2026, by up to $5,701. That part has to come from savings, income, work, or private loans.
The ceiling is $5,500 in the student’s own Direct Loan plus up to $20,000 in Parent PLUS, which requires that the parent has no adverse credit history. Net prices are averages for a prior cohort of aid recipients, not a quote. Source: Federal Student Aid loan limits. Where this gap is largest.

FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedInterCoast Colleges-West Covina does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $51,426, above the $36,565 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in California.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics
Studying online: most students study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 389 of InterCoast Colleges-West Covina's 507 students (77%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 118 (23%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

- How many students attend InterCoast Colleges-West Covina?
- InterCoast Colleges-West Covina reports total enrollment of approximately 535 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.

Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price.

- What is the graduation rate at InterCoast Colleges-West Covina?
- InterCoast Colleges-West Covina reports a graduation rate of approximately 97% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of InterCoast Colleges-West Covina have?
- Students who borrowed at InterCoast Colleges-West Covina left with a median of approximately $10,313 in federal loans, and about 74% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of InterCoast Colleges-West Covina earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $36,089 for students who received federal financial aid at InterCoast Colleges-West Covina. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about InterCoast Colleges-West Covina?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with InterCoast Colleges-West Covina.

One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $40,101; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $11,469 in federal loans at this college (about $122 a month on a 10-year plan). The figure is reported for all 5 campuses that share InterCoast Colleges-West Covina's federal aid ID.
- How much do Mental Health and Social Services graduates from InterCoast Colleges-West Covina earn?
- InterCoast Colleges-West Covina's certificate graduates in Mental Health and Social Services earned a median $43,211 four years after graduating, about the same as the $43,365 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $37,997; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $12,959 in federal loans at this college (about $137 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $14,267 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). The figure is reported for all 5 campuses that share InterCoast Colleges-West Covina's federal aid ID.
- Which programs at InterCoast Colleges-West Covina have the highest graduate earnings?

That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
- Does InterCoast Colleges-West Covina get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, InterCoast Colleges-West Covina's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $51,426, above the $36,565 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in California, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
