 Effective summer 2012:
enrollment fee is $46 per unit
What costs less than a tank of gas, but will take you much further? Even at the new cost of $46, each college unit you earn toward a degree or certificate from DVC will take you much further than a tank of gas, and the journey will be much more interesting along the way!
With a college degree you can earn enough money to keep up with rising costs, and still afford to put gas in your car!
Don't let rising costs be your excuse to not get a higher education. Rising costs is one of the reasons why you need one!

 Student Life Office
Elect your student representatives! ASDVC elections will be held March 28 from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. at the Student Union Conference Room (Pleasant Hill Campus) and the Learning Commons (San Ramon Campus). Students need to be currently enrolled in classes for spring 2012 and have a photo ID with them in order to vote. Students will vote on whether or not to authorize a $1 student representation fee and ASDVC officers for 2012-13.
The Student Activity Fee is a voluntary fee that allows the ASDVC (student government) to contribute funding to programs such as the textbook on reserve program, which allows students to check out course textbooks for use in the library. The fee also allows ASDVC to provide co-curricular programs for students, cultural activities, leadership opportunities and scholarships. The fee is charged at the time of registration but students may request a refund of the fee each semester. Forms are available at the Cashier's Office, the Student Life Office or online at www.dvc.edu/SAFrefund. The form must be submitted in person or by mail to the Cashier's Office within the first two weeks of instruction for a full semester class, or before 10% of the class time for a short-term class. Refund checks will be issued monthly after the first two weeks of instruction each semester. |
