Fees and Refunds

Fees

STATE-MANDATED ENROLLMENT FEE
All students (unless at the time of registration they qualify for exemption* under State mandates) are subject to an Enrollment Fee. These fees are established by the State legislature and are determined at the time of enrollment by the student’s unit load.

*Exemptions: State regulations provide the following three programs to help eligible low income students with California residence status to have the Enrollment Fee waived.

• Board of Governor’s Waiver Program A. For any student who, at the time of registration, is a recipient of (1) TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families); (2) SSI/SSP (Supplementary Security Income/State Supplementary Program); (3) General Assistance/General Relief Program; or (4) The California Department of Veteran Affairs or the National Guard Adjutant General’s Certification of Eligibility for a dependent’s fee waiver.
• Board of Governor’s Waiver Program B. For low income students who meet eligibility requirements.
• Board of Governor’s Waiver Program C. For low income students who qualify for Financial Aid.

Prior to registration, students in any of these categories should obtain the appropriate application materials from the Financial Aid Office for exemptions.

NONRESIDENT/NON-CITIZEN TUITION

Students who have not established California residency in accordance with state regulations (see Residency Requirements section), will be required to pay the Nonresident Tuition Fee of $190.00 per unit. Students who are both citizens and residents of a foreign country are required to pay $210.00 per unit. These fees are in addition to the enrollment fees.

STUDENT SERVICES FEE
Students are required to pay a Student Services Health Fee each semester and summer session. Students who are eligible for the Board of Governor’s Enrollment Fee Waiver and students who depend exclusively upon prayer for healing in accordance with a bona fide religion, sect, or denomination (upon written verification from an authorized church official) are exempt from paying the Student Services Health Fee. (See “Schedule of Classes” for other possible exemptions.) This church documentation must be submitted to the Vice President for the exemption.

PARKING FEE
Students and staff who drive vehicles on campus will pay a Parking Fee and be issued a decal. The cost is $40.00 per semester; $20 for summer session. As an option, students and part-time staff may purchase a $1 daily parking pass in lieu of a semester decal. The Parking Fee covers day and evening campus attendance.

The $40 decal is nonrefundable after the fourteenth calendar day of the full-semester. The $20 decal is nonrefundable after the first ten percent of classes for short-term classes. The $1 decals are nonrefundable.

OTHER FEES
The Associated Students of Yuba College collect a voluntary annual A.S.Y.C. Fee of $10.00 per year, $5.00 per semester for services and benefits.

All students should be prepared to purchase their own books, which are sold at the Bookstore. Direct school expenses for the entire year, including books, will probably average $600 to $700 for students living at home; book costs for pre-professional students (such as engineering and medicine) will run somewhat higher.

Students in some health-care courses and programs (such as EMT, Nursing, Nursing Assistant, Radiologic Technology) are required to purchase drug testing and other related charges these must be paid for at the time of enrollment. The BOGW enrollment fee waiver does not cover these charges.

Refunds

All Enrollment Fee refunds are subject to a $10.00 Processing Fee. This Fee will be charged only once per each semester of enrollment. Any refund processed for less than $10.00 will not be assessed an additional Fee.

BOOK REFUNDS
Full refunds will be made, at the College Bookstore, for books purchased for the current semester up to two weeks after the start of that semester; one week for summer session. Receipts are required for all refunds and new books must be unmarked and in new condition.

ENROLLMENT/STUDENT SERVICES FEES/NONRESIDENT TUITION
Students are eligible for a refund of these Fees if the procedures below are followed.

• The student “officially” drops the class on or before the refund deadline (fourteenth calendar day of the semester or ten percent of a short-term class), AND
• The drop(s) reduces the student’s currently enrolled unit load, AND
• A refund request form is filed with the District Cashier.
  When students request a fee refund, they should be aware of the following.
• Students must make a written request to receive a refund of fees.
• Refunds will NOT automatically be issued.
• All enrollment fee refunds are subject to a once-a-semester $10 Processing Fee.
• If fees were paid by check, there will be a waiting period until that check clears through the student’s bank before refunds can be processed.
• For refunds a student must complete a Request for Refund and a check will be mailed.

OFFICIAL Drops -- may be submitted through WebAdvisor, Telephone registration, or in person at the Registration Office. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure all drops are processed.

PARKING FEES
Students who withdraw from classes before the fourteenth day of the semester (dates vary for short-term classes) may apply for a refund of the Parking Fee. The parking sticker must be returned to qualify for the refund.

PRO-RATA REFUNDS
A financial aid student attending the Yuba Community College District for the first time who is a nonresident will be granted a pro-rata refund of those fees if he/she withdraws from all classes prior to the 10th week of the semester (in full-semester classes). Contact the Financial Aid Office for more information. An Administrative Fee of $100 or 5% of the total charges (whichever is less) will be collected for each pro-rata refund processed.
