Fees, Tuition and Other Expenses

Students must pay all fees and tuition at the time of registration unless otherwise indicated. All students are required to purchase their own books and regular supplies. All fees are subject to change after the printing of the schedule of classes.

A $15 fee will be charged for all returned checks. Under Assembly Bill 1226, any person who writes a check dishonored for lack of funds is civilly liable, and under the law is liable for three times the amount of the check, plus the face value of the check.

Nonresident tuition: U.S. citizens who have been classified as non-residents (see residence section), shall be required to pay nonresident tuition at the rate of $132 per unit (rate subject to change without notice). The non-U.S. citizen rate is $138 per unit.

Books, Supplies and Course Materials Fees: You must purchase all books and many of the supplies required by instructors of the classes in which you enroll. If your class has a materials fee, it will be printed in the Schedule of Classes and that fee must be paid during registration. When possible, the bookstore sells used books at reduced prices. The bookstore generally stocks the supplies you may be required to purchase.

College Services Card Fee: This optional fee, administered by the Associated Student Body, underwrites many of the services, programs and extra-curricular classroom experiences that otherwise cannot be provided. Some of these services include: telephone registration, scholarships, book buy-back privileges, on-campus check cashing, bus pass purchases, bookstore discounts, legal advice, accident insurance and theatre, music and athletic events. The College Services Card fee is $15 for fall and spring and $10 for summer sessions.

Student Health Fees: A health fee of $12 for the fall/spring semesters and $9 for the summer session will be charged upon registration, unless students meet one of the exemptions listed below:

Students who qualify for the Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOGW) or are identified by the Financial Aid Office as qualifying for exemption under Education Code Section 72252.(1).

Any student who depends exclusively on prayer for healing in accordance with the teachings of a bona fide religious sect, denomination, or organization. Documentary evidence of such an affiliation is required.

Students attending college under approved apprenticeship training program under Section 76355 (c) (2)

Parking Fee: Students must purchase a parking pass if on-campus parking is to be used. Parking fees for automobiles or motorcycles are $15 for students enrolled in 0-5.9 units and $30 for students enrolled in six units or more. For students receiving financial aid who are enrolled in six units or more, the fee is $20. Citations are issued starting the third week of each semester for vehicles not displaying a valid parking permit.

Indebtedness: The college cannot extend credit for expenses. In the event that the student becomes indebted to the college due to library fines, books or athletic equipment damage or loss, student loan defaults, breakage of equipment, bad checks, failure to meet attendance regulations involving veteran support or financial aid or for any other reason, the college may deny further enrollment, refuse to release transcripts and refuse to release information to potential employers or other agencies until all indebtedness has been cleared.
