Frequently Asked Questions

What documents do I need?

Only a picture ID or residency card is needed to enroll. The college assigns a student identification number when you enroll. There is no need to be a legal resident to take non-credit courses. To take classes for credit and apply for financial aid, you must be a California resident.

How much do the courses cost?

Non-credit English for Life and Work courses are free; however, a fee of approximately $32.00 is charged each semester for health and student services. Credit courses are $46.00 per unit or $29.00 per semester with the BOG fee waiver. Financial aid is also available.

What about parking?

Daily parking permits can be purchased at the machines near each parking lot. Students may also purchase a semester-long parking pass. There are visitor parking spaces, but parking is only allowed for thirty minutes. Parking violations are strictly enforced, so be sure to have a parking permit or only use the visitor parking for short periods of time. If you receive a parking permit, and you feel the citation is unfair, see the Welcome Center staff for options on how to appeal.
