Board of Governors Fee Waiver
(BOGFW)
State law requires that students attending California
Community Colleges pay an enrollment fee and a health fee. Students
enrolled in credit classes are required to pay the following fees:
- Enrollment fee: Summer 2007,
Fall 2007, Spring 2008, Summer 2008: $20 per unit
- Health fee: $14 per semester
- Student Center Construction Fee: $1
per unit ($5 maximum per semester)
Don't turn away from education or
job training because you think you cannot afford the fees.
The Board of Governors Waiver Program provides three ways to help you pay fees
and it also makes you eligible for a reduced parking permit fee. The
program also has a special classification criteria which may qualify you to
have only your enrollment fees waived if you don't qualify through the other three methods. The
eligibility requirements for each program are listed below.
If your application has not been processed for the Board of
Governors Waiver by the time of registration, fees will be charged and a refund
will be made upon approval of the application. Refunds are retroactive for the
current semester only. The deadline to apply and receive a BOGFW is the
last day of the current semester. The BOGFW is awarded for up to
twelve months: fall, spring and summer. Students need to reapply each fall.
