Enrollment increase for community college students, effective fall semester

Times are tough for community colleges, that was evident on Tuesday as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed an education bill to the 2009-10 state budget that will increase enrollment fee at $26 per unit, effective for the fall term. 

Colleges are obligated to collect the additional $6 per unit from students who have registered at $20 per unit.

Students who have previously applied for financial aid and qualified for a Board of Governors Fee Waiver will be fully covered and that no further action on their part is required.
