Pay for College

We know college is a major decision and investment for you and your family. California Community Colleges is here to help.

So how much does it cost?

We are committed to making your higher education goals affordable. The California College Promise Grant (formerly known as the BOG fee waiver) waives fees for nearly half of students in the California Community Colleges and our $46-per-unit fee for community college courses is the lowest in the nation.

If you’re a California resident enrolling in 12 units, you would pay $552 each semester, with out-of-state and international students paying more. For other costs, including books, supplies, parking, and fees for things like health services, there are waivers, grants and scholarships available.

We’re here to help you graduate on time, without debt, and on track to a successful career. Check out the I Can Afford College website to learn more about your financial aid options.
