|Future AB 540 Students |Ms. Jeanette Stirdivant |
|At this year’s Counselor Day, the issue was raised about students who want to enroll in |Outcome |
|the Jump Start Program but cannot prove legal immigration status. As part of the program |It was MSC (Barrio-Sotillo/Zariani) to pass the |
|the $20/unit fee is waived, but these students are still charged the $181 per unit |question of definition of “hardship” to the Student|
|non-resident tuition fee. |Fees Committee with regard to waiver of |
|Discussion took place on Title V allowances for waiving the non-resident tuition fee. |Non-Resident Tuition for concurrently enrolled high|
|The LACCD is currently waiving the non-resident fee for all nonresidents enrolling in less|school students. |
|than 6 units under the Title V allowances. However, the district is re-examining this | |
|policy. |Dr. Mirch abstained. |
|Only a certain percentage of students can be exempted. Waiving fees for the high school | |
|students may exclude other groups which should also be considered. | |
|Ms. Stirdivant expressed concern that students may go to other campuses that would be | |
|willing to waive the fee. | |
|Issue might be bettered discussed in the Student Fees Committee who could look more | |
|closely at the Title V language. | |
|It would be a good opportunity to use the governance process to determine if the college | |
|would want to waive the fees for future AB 540 students or any hardship case and to define| |
|what “hardship” cases are. | |
|Dr. Barrio-Sotillo stated that she believed that the high school students could receive | |
|greater benefit for the waiver of the non-resident tuition because they don’t have the | |
|same options for other aid that F-1 and out-of-state students have. | |
|Dr. Mirch expressed concern over waiving the fee for hardship because of past issues with | |
|waiving the Health Fee for hardship. | |
|Ms. Verstraete expressed concern that waiving these fees could be viewed as State Aid. | |
