THE FEE EXEMPTION

The following students are exempt from paying the required health fee:

Students who depend exclusively upon prayer for healing in accordance with the teachings of a bona fide religious sect, denomination, or organization.

Students who are attending community college under an approved apprenticeship training program.

Holds that Prevent Registration

Holds may be placed on a student’s record whenever that student is delinquent or has failed to pay any debt owed to the college or failed to return any library books or other college property or equipment. Students with holds will not be allowed to receive transcripts, certificates or diplomas; have transcripts forwarded; and/or receive other services related to student records. They may not be allowed to register. When the student has cleared the obligation with the college, the hold will be removed.

 

Non-credit Courses

No enrollment fees are charged for non-credit courses. However, students will be charged the mandatory parking and health fees on enrollment in on-campus non-credit class(es).

Community Education Courses

Students are required to pay the established community service fee at the time of registration into community service courses. Fees for these courses vary according to the type of class being offered.

Materials Fee
