Student Fees

All fees are due two weeks prior to the first day of class. If a course is added after the first day of class, payment is due at the time of enrollment. Past due fees will result in a bursar hold, which will prevent additional enrollment. Most students get help paying for college through grants and scholarships that they don’t have to pay back. That’s why we encourage every student to apply for financial aid, even if you don’t think you’re eligible.

Special admit high school students who are CA residents will not be charged enrollment fees or any other college/district fees. Non-California Resident and International Resident Fees apply to any student who does not meet the California Residency Requirements.

All fees are subject to change. Changes may result from California legislation or PCCD Board of Trustees actions.
