Due to a recent State budget decision, California Community College enrollment fees have been increased from $20 to $26 per unit effective for the Fall 2009 term. Students who have qualified for and received approval for the Board of Governors fee waiver will have their full enrollment fee waived and no further action is necessary on their part. Students who have already submitted fees at the $20 per unit rate will be required to submit payment for the difference.
To see if you are eligible to have your fees waived please visit the FAFSA website or submit the Board of Governors fee waiver in the Financial Aid Office or complete the online application here.

Parking Discounts - If you are eligible for the Board of Governors Fee Waiver, you MAY be eligible for a Parking Permit discount. Please check with Cashiers for your eligibility. Parking Permit discounts are only given to purchases made in the Cashiers Office.
Financial aid is money for college. It is provided by the United States taxpayers to ensure that everyone who wants a college education has the financial ability to pay for their college expenses.
Financial aid is also a partnership between you - the student - and the college that provides money to help pay college costs. If you receive financial aid, it is expected that you will enroll in courses needed to complete your chosen program, work hard at learning, and move responsibly toward successful completion of your educational goal.
We strive to assist you in a professional and timely manner. If at any time you do not feel that your needs are being met, please do not hesitate to contact me.
