Fees

All information relative to enrollment fees is subject to change as mandated by the California Community College Board of Governors and California law.

All students are required to pay enrollment fees at the time of registration.

The State legislature determines enrollment fees. The current rate is $46 per semester unit.

Students may be eligible for a Waiver of Enrollment Fees if they are on Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), Supplemental Social Security (SSI), General Assistance, or if their total income and number of dependents meet specific criteria; or they have demonstrated need indicated on their financial aid application (See Financial Aid web page for Fee Waiver Application).

The District provides a health program to assist students in health matters.

The Health Services fee is $21.00* per semester and is payable at the time of registration, unless the student is eligible for the BOGW Fee Waiver. The fee is nonrefundable unless the student withdraws from all classes prior to the end of the 10th day of the term, or the District cancels all of the student's classes. See Schedule for approved exemptions.
* Fees are subject to change.

On September 9, 2008, the District's Board of Trustees approved the elimination of the Board of Governor's fee waiver (BOGFW) for the student health fee. Recent years have seen a substantial increase in costs associated with providing student health services.​

The following exceptions to paying the Health Fee have not changed:

• Concurrently enrolled high school students with an approved R-40 form on file
• Indentured apprentices fulfilling related instruction requirements (with proper documentation required)
• Students who are dependent exclusively upon prayer for healing, in accordance with teachings of a bona fide religious sect, denomination, or organization (proper documentation required)
• Students enrolled only for classes meeting off campus
• Students taking Friday evening, Saturday, or Sunday classes only
• Students taking only short-term classes which meet on campus seven times or less

Student Identification Cards are issued free at the time of registration in the Admissions & Records Office. The ID cards are used to access the College Library, Health Center, and other services. The ASB is also placed on the ID card for access to special AS services and discounts. Replacement photo ID cards cost $7 (non-refundable). If the student has registered for classes, the Student ID may be picked up at Admissions & Records. 

Each student enrolled at Evergreen Valley College is automatically entitled to a VTA EcoPass:

$6.50 - Students enrolled in 5 or less units
$11.00 - Students enrolled in 6 or more units
$5 - Replacement Card Fee ( As of March 1st, 2023)
The VTA EcoPass is paid through a contract with the Valley Transportation Authority, which is based on student enrollment at Evergreen Valley College and San Jose City College. Therefore, the fee is mandatory for all students, whether you utilize the service or not.  

Students will be billed a $5 activities fee. Students may request to opt-out by contacting the Director of Student Activities & Development. This request must be processed no later than the LAST DAY to DROP with eligibility for a refund of registration fees – as outlined by the Academic Calendar.

Semester parking permits are good at both EVC and SJCC campuses and may be purchased online through Self-Service on any computer (from home, work, school) when paying by credit card. Please, direct questions or concerns after you have ordered/purchased your parking permit to Credentials Solutions at 1-800-646-1858.

All automobiles must have the permit placed on the left -hand bottom corner of the front windshield. Violation of parking rules can result in citations ranging from $37 to $300. Disabled Person Parking spaces and red zones are enforced at all times. Please read the posted signs and follow instructions printed on parking permits. 

Paid parking is enforced Monday through Saturday. A parking permit does not guarantee a parking space; it merely gives the student the convenience of not buying daily permits.

Students who have the BOGW Fee Waiver will be charged a maximum of $25.00 for regular semester parking permits.

$45 - Automobiles permit
$3 - Daily Permit

Nonresident and foreign students are required to pay enrollment fees as noted under "Enrollment Fees" in addition to nonresident tuition ($389 + $46= $428 per semester unit). Personal checks are not accepted for tuition or fees. All fees are payable in full ten days following registration.

Education Code section 68075.6 grants an immediate nonresident tuition fee exemption to eligible Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders and refugee students who settled in California upon entering the United States.  This exemption is granted for one year from the date the student settled in California upon entering the United States.

This exemption applies to the following:

• Iraqi citizens or nationals (and their spouses and children) who were employed by or on behalf of the United States Government in Iraq (Pub.L. No. 110-181, §1244)
• Afghan and Iraqi translators (and their spouses and children) who worked directly with the United States

Students having overdue library materials who do not return athletic equipment/uniforms, or have other outstanding book or other loans or fee balances, will have a hold placed on their records.

A student is responsible for the clearance of all obligations at the college. A student who does not clear all obligations at the college will be denied further service by the college and the District, and outstanding balance information may be sent to collection agencies.​

Payments can be made online at Self Service with a credit card.
