Fee Descriptions

The student representation fee supports student government in its effort to advocate and lobby for legislative issues that affect students.
$1 of every $2 fee supports the operations of a statewide community college student organization that is recognized by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges (Assembly Bill 1504). This statewide organization provides for student representation and participation in state-level community college shared governance as well as governmental affairs representatives to advocate before the legislature and other state and local governmental entities.
Students can refuse to pay this fee based on moral, religious, political, or financial grounds. To be exempted from paying the fee, submit the Student Representation Fee Exemption Form, preferably before you pay your fees.
This fee was established under provision of California Education Code section 76060.5 and California Code of Regulations, Title V, sections 54801-54805.
Refundable: Yes.
In a remote environment, the health services fee provides access to virtual health and mental health services as well as virtual mental health counseling by local mental health counselors. College nurses are available by appointment for phone or email advice and referrals to community resources as needed. College nurses will offer remote health and wellness educational offerings throughout the semester along with virtual health fairs.
The following students may be exempted from the health services fee if they submit the Health Services Fee Exemption Form before the last day of the semester:
- Students who depend exclusively upon prayer for healing in accordance with the teachings of a bona fide religious sect, denomination, or organization
