Summer Session (optional) - $338 per course unit. There are no unit requirements. Summer Session fees are not included in the above total.

Payment, except during the first semester,  is due at the time of registration.  You may use cash, a Visa/Mastercard credit or debit card, a personal check (from a U.S. bank), a Money Order, or traveler's checks (in U.S. dollars).

It is important for students to bring enough U.S. dollars to pay for the first semester fees (approximately $2,000), books and medical insurance, and the first few months of living expenses (rent, meals, etc.).  You may wish to bring up to $5,000 to cover these initial expenses.  (We suggest you use traveler's checks, as it is the most secure form of money to use while traveling and is widely accepted by businesses in the U.S.).

For your own safety and protection, please remember to safeguard your money, passport and personal belongings.

To help you pay your educational expenses, Las Positas College is proud to offer FACTS as a convenient budget plan.

International students do not qualify for financial aid. There are however several scholarships that International students may qualify for. Please see Financial Aid for more information.

There are very few jobs available for international students on campus. International students are not allowed to work off campus without permission of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and only after you have been here for over a year. To work without permission can result in deportation and denial of future entry into the United States.
