How are fees collected:

Student Representation Fee

$2 per semester

A Student Representation fee of $2.00 will be assessed of all students each semester or session. This fee is used for any purpose related to representing the views of students with governmental bodies.

In October 2019, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1504 into law authorizing California community colleges to assess a student representation fee of $2 per semester beginning spring semester 2020.  The student representation fees collected will help establish and support the operation of a statewide community college student organization that empowers students to participate and engage in statewide higher education policy and advocacy activities.  The fees collected will also financially support the advocacy efforts of the Las Positas College Student Government.

Student Activities Fee

$10 per semester

An optional Student Activities Fee of $10.00 will be assessed of all students each semester (excluding Summer). Students paying this fee receive an activity sticker that provides discounts on student activities and sports events. The fee helps finance student activities, Las Positas College clubs, scholarships, the Student Center and other student-related services.
