Beginning Spring 2007, California residents pay $20 per unit for enrollment. Nonresidents pay $177 per unit in fees, plus $20 per unit for enrollment. All students are required to pay enrollment fees at the time of registration.

The State legislature will determine enrollment fees for the 07-08 academic year.

High school students taking classes for high school credit or college credit will NOT be required to pay enrollment fees.

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 Board of Governors' Fee Waiver).

Approved petitions for fee waivers and proof of eligibility must occur prior to registration. Applications for the fee waiver are available in the Financial Aid Office or Schedule of Classes.

Indentured apprentices fulfilling related instruction are exempt from enrollment fees.  Proof of apprenticeship status will be required.

Employed students should check with their companies to determine if the firm has a fee reimbursement policy.

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

The Health Services fee is $14.00* 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 class day of the term, or the District cancels all of the student's classes.

High school students attending classes on SJCC campus are required to pay Health fees. Classes which meet off campus, on Friday evenings, Saturday classes, Sunday classes and apprenticeship classes are exempt from the fee.
