Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have to pay the Transportation Fee if I do not intend to ride the bus, or if all my classes are online?​

A referendum was held in the Spring of 2018 where the SCC students voted to enact the fee.  The fee is mandatory for any student enrolled in credit classes.  There are no exemptions.

Student Representation Fee (Education Code 76060.5)

The $2.00 mandatory Student Representation Fee is used by the Associated Student Government (ASG) to represent the view of students with governmental agencies.

In October 2019, Assembly Bill 1504 was signed into law, requiring California Community Colleges to collect a student representation fee of $2 per semester.  This law went into effect January 1, 2020, and all students who initially register for classes on or after January 1, 2020 will have this fee imposed.  Students may opt out of the fee by completing the Petition for Student Representation Fee Waiver and submitting to our Cashiers office via email at cashiers@sccollege.edu .
