Admissions and Records officials said that the college's former health fee was thrown out with the materials fee and change of program fee (drop fee) when the college adopted the maximum $50 enrollment fee in the spring of 1983. Full-tiine students will now pay $57.50 maximum for enrollment or add $7.50 to the amount of units in which they enroll. / The fees will not be charged for summer or intersessions. Those on financial aid for low-income students will be · included in the calculation of funds needed. The state mandated fees will not be assessed under the following circumstances: - Students taking classes exclusively off-<:ampus. -S tudents taking only short-temi classes which meet on campus 7 times or less. - Students taking classes that meet only Friday night, Saturday of Sunday. - Students taking apprenticeship classes. - Students dependent exclusively upon prayer for healing in accordance with the teachings of a bona fide religious sect, denomination or organization. . . . -Students recetvmg assistance through the State enrollment fe e program (BOGG).
