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. The fee is nonrefundable unless the student withdraws from all classes prior to the end of the 10th day of the term, or the District cancels all of the student's classes. See Schedule for approved exemptions.
* Fees are subject to change.
On September 9, 2008, the District's Board of Trustees approved the elimination of the Board of Governor's fee waiver (BOGFW) for the student health fee. Recent years have seen a substantial increase in costs associated with providing student health services.

This activity program is a college-wide enterprise. Its operation is not only of direct benefit to each student; it also furnishes an organized representation for all students in various college and community affairs and activities.
