• Duplicate Health Fee Refund

  Students enrolled at more than one college within the Coast Community College District (CCCD) may request a refund of the duplicate health fee that was paid at the college at which they do not wish to receive health services. The health fee must be paid at all colleges and then refunded upon request. Refund requests may be made during the third week of the semester in which a student is enrolled. To request a Health Fee Refund form, visit Admissions & Records or contact Maria Mai at CCCAdmissionsOffice@coastline.edu.

College Services Charge

The college services charge will be $12 per Fall/Spring term and $12 per Summer term.

This charge underwrites many student services, classes, and programs. It is not mandatory; however, Coastline Administration and the Associated Student Government (ASG) expect students to support the college by paying the charge. A portion of each $12 charge goes to:

• instructional grants
• student scholarships
• student support
• graduation related activities

The College Service Charge must be paid in order to receive these services.

Information about specific programs funded by this charge and requests for waiver of the charge are available and granted only in the Admissions and Records office during the registration period. Waivers must be secured in advance and submitted at the time of a student's initial enrollment.
