Enrollment Fee Assistance: Board of Governors Waiver (BOGW)

State law requires that students attending the college pay an enrollment fee. Students enrolled in credit classes are currently required to pay $26 per unit. The enrollment fee for Spring 2007 will be $20 per unit.

The college offers the Board of Governors Waiver BOGW online application,  (or a print and return form - Spanish Version) a state-funded program which will waive the enrollment fee for all eligible applicants.

Important Notice

 

The BOG Fee Waiver will no longer pay your student health fee charges unless you qualify for a BOG Fee Waiver as a recipient of TANF, SSI/SSP or General Relief.

 

The health fee is $13 per semester (Fall and Spring) and $10 for Summer.

 

When registering for classes on ClassTalk or Reg-e, it is very important to process your payment for all fees including the health fee immediately before exiting the system to avoid being dropped from classes

To determine your eligibility for the Board of Governor's Waiver based on the above income standards, you will be considered independent if:

• You are 24 years of age or older (Born before January 1, 1983)

• You are married or in a RDP (Registered Domestic Partnership)

• You have children or other dependents that will receive more than half of their support from you through June 30, 2007

• You are an orphan or ward of the court or you were a ward of the court until your 18th birthday

• You are a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces

• You do not live with your parents

• You were not claimed as an exemption on any federal income tax filed by your parents or RDP in 2005

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CALIFORNIA DOMESTIC PARTNER RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES ACT
Recent legislation (Assembly Bill 205) extends new rights, benefits, responsibilities and obligations to individuals in domestic partnerships registered with the California Secretary of State under Section 297 of the Family Code. If you are in a Registered Domestic Partnership (RDP), you will be treated as an Independent married student to determine eligibility for this Fee Waiver and will need to provide income and household information for your domestic partner. If you are a dependent student and your parent is in a Registered Domestic Partnership, you will be treated the same as a student with married parents and income and household information will be required for the parent's domestic partner.
**These new provisions apply to state funded student financial aid ONLY, and not to federal student financial aid.
