Fees > Summer / Winter Sessions

Fees are set by the California legislature and are subject to change, even if you have already paid us. California is one of the few states of the union that continues to provide widespread access to college-level education by keeping fees low. You can participate in this and other legislative decisions that affect you by registering to vote.

California residents pay an enrollment fee of $20 per unit.

In addition, Cabrillo assesses the following fees during Summer and Winter Sessions:

Health Services Fee - $13

Supports the Student Health Center. You may be exempt from this fee if you depend upon prayer for healing in accordance with the teachings of a bona fide religious sect, denomination, or organization.
