Enrollment Fee

The state of California mandates an enrollment fee of $46.00 per unit (with no cap) be charged to all students.

Health Fee

The health fee provides students with a variety of health care services. In accordance with Board policy, students are required to pay a health fee, regardless of the units taken. This fee is not waived by the California College Promise Grant (formally known as Board of Governor’s Fee Waiver). It is the student’s responsibility to pay the health fee for every semester.

For students enrolled in both on-and-off campus sites the health fee is charged at the on-campus rate. The use of on-campus labs or the on-campus tutorial center will result in an on-campus health fee.

Current locations approved as on-campus are Fresno City College, Reedley College, Madera Community College and Clovis Community College.

In accordance with California Educational Code Section 76355, an exemption/waiver from the health fee is available to the following students:

  • 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 a community college under an approved apprenticeship training program.

The Health Fee Waiver formis available by clicking on the link. The form must be turned in prior to the start of each semester. Please submit completed forms by email to CBO@fresnocitycollege.edu.

  2. The instructional and other materials required for the class have a continuing value to the student outside of the classroom setting.
