Fees

Enrollment Fees 

All information relative to enrollment fees is subject to change as mandated by the California Community College Board of Governors and California law.

All students are required to pay enrollment fees at the time of registration.

The State legislature determines enrollment fees. The current rate is $46 per semester unit.

Students may be eligible for a Waiver of Enrollment Fees if they are on Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), Supplemental Social Security (SSI), General Assistance, or if their total income and number of dependents meet specific criteria; or they have demonstrated need indicated on their financial aid application (See Financial Aid web page for Fee Waiver Application).

Health Services Fees 

The District provides a health program to assist students in health matters.

The Health Services fee is $21.00* per semester and is payable at the time of registration, unless the student is eligible for the BOGW Fee Waiver.
