Fees

Enrollment Fees:  All students are required by state regulations to pay an enrollment fee. For information about fee waivers, deferments and grants related to this fee please visit: https://financialaid.santarosa.edu/

Non-Resident and International Student Tuition:  A California resident is one who has established legal residence for one year prior to the first day of instruction.  Students who are residents of other states wishing to change their residency must show intent to remain. Just being present does not prove intent.  Reasonable evidence of permanent stay in California determines state residency. Such as: local voter registration, employment verification, DMV documentation, state income tax and other proof of California residency.  The State of California requires all Non-Resident students and International Students to pay the non-resident fee per unit AND capital outlay fee per unit in addition to the enrollment fee.

Note: AB540, Exemption from Non-Resident Tuition for certain eligible California high school graduates.  For more details, refer to the Admissions homepage on the SRJC website https://admissions.santarosa.edu/ab540-nonresident-tuition-exemption.

Health Services Fee:  SRJC charges a fee to support the operation of Health Services.  This is a state-mandated fee with waivers for students who depend exclusively on prayer for healing, approved apprenticeship and audit students, incarcerated students, and students enrolled in only “0” unit courses.  All students enrolled in credit courses will be required to pay the health fee, including students qualifying for BOG fee waivers.

Student Transportation Fee: The Student Transportation Fee is collected to reduce or eliminate transit fares for services provided by common carriers or municipally-owned transit systems; this could include Sonoma County Transit, Santa Rosa CityBus, Petaluma Transit and the SMART Train. This fee does not apply to students enrolled in non-credit classes or those enrolled in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Program, the Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Program or the General Assistance Program.

Student Representation Fee:  The Student Representation Fee provides support for student representatives who state positions and viewpoints before city, county, and district governments and before offices and agencies of the state and federal government. Students may opt-out of paying the Student Representation Fee for religious, political, financial, or moral reasons.
