Community College Fees Increase from $20 Per Unit to $26 Per Unit
August 13, 2009
Cerro Coso Community College fees for state residents will increase from
$20 to $26 for the Fall Semester, since the State Legislature signed into
law AB2X last week. Community college fees are set by the state legislature
rather than local boards, and the fee increase applies to every community
college in the state.
Students who have already enrolled for the Fall semester of classes at the
lower rate will be billed for the difference in accordance with the new
state requirement. Students who qualify for the Board of Governors Fee
Waiver (BOGW) for the 2009-2010 year, will have the fee increase
automatically covered by the BOGW and no further action will be required by
the student. Students with financial aid hardship questions or
concerns about loans and scholarships are encouraged to contact the
Financial Aid Office at 384-6221.
Fees were last set at $26 per unit during the economic downturn of 2003.
Even at the newly set $26 per unit, California community colleges have the
lowest fees in the nation.
Cerro Coso Fall semester classes begin August 24. Students can register
online at www.cerrocoso.edu. or come
up to the Admissions and Records Office to register. The Fall semester class
schedule is also available online. The College Book Nook bookstore is
open for textbook purchases from Monday – Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and
on Fridays until 12 noon.
For further information contact the College at 384-6100.
