The California State Legislature mandates the collection of enrollment fees for public community college students. An enrollment fee of $26.00 per unit is required for each semester or session. Assistance with these enrollment fees is available for qualifying students who are California residents.

Enrollment Fee Assistance (Financial Aid)

Need Assistance With Your Enrollment Fees?

The Financial Aid Office provides a Board of Governors Fee Wavier (BOGFW) for qualifying students who are California residents. We encourage students to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for all possible types of financial aid the college offers. The Los Angeles Valley College Federal School Code is 001228. Students who file the FAFSA and meet eligibility requirements will receive a postcard in the mail indicating a fee waiver has been processed.

It is recommended that students obtain the fee waiver prior to registering for their classes; there is no unit limit. Enrollment fee waivers may be obtained at any time within a given term for eligible students. Students who pay for their registration fees now and later find that they were eligible for a fee waiver may apply for a refund at the Los Angeles Valley College Business Office by June 30th of the award year.

If you do not qualify for the waiver, you will be responsible for paying all fees necessary to enroll in classes. Please note that students who elect to audit classes are ineligible for financial aid, including the fee waiver.

Office hours are:

Monday: 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Tuesday - Thursday: 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Friday: Closed

The Financial Aid Office is located in the Financial Aid Modular Building near the North Gym. Our telephone number is (818) 947-2412 and our LAVC email is financialaid@lavc.edu

Warning: Students who drop classes may be required to repay some of the federal financial aid funds they have received. We highly recommend that you contact the Financial Aid Office prior to dropping any of your classes.
