The True Cost of Courses

In an effort to be more transparent about the actual cost of courses, and consistent with a new state law (AB 607), the College is now publishing the cost of materials and fees for approximately 60 percent of courses.

Some courses are labeled as Zero Textbook Cost while others include estimated costs for new or used materials.

You can use the following list to better understand the estimated cost of a class before you register! If there are either new or used costs, and you’d rather save the money, scroll to the right to see if there are any zero textbook cost sections of that course available.
