Associated Student Organization (ASO) fee of $7 per Fall/Spring semester and $3 per Summer/Winter semesters are automatically assessed to all students enrolled in credit courses. ASO membership provides students with preferred parking if purchased with a semester parking permit, the ability to join student government, access to ASO events, and other perks.

Students may opt out of the fee on their Student Information System before the start of each semester. Once the semester begins, students may only opt out of ASO fee for that semester at the Business Office. Opt-out for prior semesters are subject to ASO Office approval.

Students who pay for ASO fees must present their student ID cards to the cashier to receive ASO membership stickers. New student ID cards can currently be obtained at the Library in the HLRC Building.

Please visit the ASO webpage for more information on the Associated Student Organization.

LACCD charges $2 student representation fee per semester for all students enrolled in credit courses. The fee is collected to support student representation and advocacy before district, city, county, and state governments.

Students may refuse to pay the fee for religious, political, financial, or moral reasons, and must opt out on the Student Information System prior to the start of each semester.

LACCD has transitioned to a new credit card processing service. Starting 08/20/2024, students will need to create a payment profile when making their initial payment.

Please review the Steps to Make an Online Payment file for detailed instructions.

LACCD has partnered with BankMobile to provide students with a faster and easier way to receive their refunds and financial aid payments. Students must select their refund preference through BankMobile for refunds to be processed smoothly.

Please visit the BankMobile webpage for more detailed information, and visit the BankMobile Refund Choices webpage to select refund preference.

Registration holds that prevent students from adding classes are placed on student accounts if the student's cumulative outstanding fee balance across all nine colleges at LACCD is greater than or equal to $100. The Business Office cannot remove the hold unless the student makes sufficient payment to decrease the total outstanding balance to below $100, or enroll in a Payment Plan and stay current with the scheduled payments.

LACCD is now offering no-interest payment plan for Fall and Spring semesters, to assist students with paying current semester outstanding fees. We highly recommend that you apply for financial aid first before you apply for a payment plan, in case you qualify for a fee waiver or grant.

Please visit the Payment Plan webpage for more detailed information.

Please visit the Refund Policies webpage for detailed information on refund policies for different types of fees.

For fee refunds, if the fees were paid by credit/debit card, refunds will be credited back to the card originally charged. Please allow for up to ten business days from the class drop date for the refund to be reflected on your credit/debit card account.

If the fees were paid by cash or check, refunds will be processed through BankMobile. Please visit the BankMobile webpage for more information on how to select your refund preference through BankMobile to ensure the refund is processed smoothly.

A 1098-T IRS form is issued to eligible students who paid out-of-pocket “qualified educational expenses” in the preceding tax year.

• Qualified educational expenses include enrollment fees and nonresident tuition fees only.
• Students who received California College Promise Grant (CCPG), formerly known as BOG Fee Waiver, to cover enrollment fees do not qualify to receive 1098-T forms.
• Students with incorrect Social Security Number (SSN) or Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) in the Student Information System (SIS) will not receive a 1098-T form. Please contact the Admissions & Records Office to update the SSN/TIN, and notify the Business Office of the update.

Please review the 1098-T Form Information file for more information on how to obtain the 1098-T form for eligible students.

Note: LACCD is temporarily pausing participation in COTOP.

The COTOP program is a method of collecting past due fees for the Los Angeles Community College District owed by former students. The West Los Angeles College Business Office reviews the accounts receivables and only submits those debts that are permitted to be collected through COTOP. Under the COTOP program, the Chancellor’s Office requests the Franchise Tax Board to offset (deduct) the amount owed to a district from the student/debtor’s personal state income tax refund, lottery winnings or other state refund.

Student accounts that have past due fees may be submitted to COTOP. This can include enrollment and associated fees incurred at West Los Angeles College. The West Los Angeles College Business Office will send out a letter to the last known address of a student, instructing the student that their past due fees may be sent to COTOP. The student then has 30 days to pay their fees in full.

Please be aware that this debt will NOT be submitted to any major credit agencies.

If a student’s past due fees are not paid in full in 30 days after the letters are sent out, the past due fee information will be submitted to the State of California COTOP. Please note that a 25% charge is added to all outstanding fees processed through COTOP.
