Cost & Fees

Student Responsibility

Students are responsible for any fees incurred and grades received. It is the student's responsibility to drop classes by the State mandated refund deadline to ensure cancellation of fees, to be eligible for a refund and to avoid fee obligations. Students must print a student class program (available on MyCoast) to verify all withdrawals.

Prior to the Start of the Term

Fees are due immediately at the time of registration. All fees must be paid including the Health Fee, College Service Charge and any Material Fees by all students, including Financial Aid students. Coastline College does not bill for registration fees. If payments are not received by the fee payment deadlines, students may be dropped from classes (including Waitlist classes) to make seats available for other students seeking to register. It is the student's responsibility to withdraw from classes by the refund deadline to ensure cancellation of fees.

Students Owing Less Than $25

Students' who have a balance due of less than $25 will not be dropped from classes, but unpaid balances will result in a hold on your account that prevents obtaining student records, including transcripts, verifications of enrollment, diplomas, etc.

Students Owing $25 or More

Students' who have a balance due of $25 or more will be dropped from classes (including Waitlist classes) if payments are not received by the fee payment deadlines.

Non-Payment Drop Schedule

Note: Not showing up to class for the first class meeting does not equate to withdrawing from a class. If you do not attend a class, or login if it is an online class, you must drop yourself from the class by the refund deadline. Drops are completed online via MyCoast. Please confirm your drop by printing a copy of your Student Class Program (web schedule bill).

Cost & Fees: Financial Aid Recipients

Financial Aid Recipients that are determined to be eligible for Federal or State Grants or Loans may not be dropped for non-payment. Financial aid students not subject to drop for non-payment receive an email indicating they will not be dropped for non-payment. Those students are responsible for dropping any classes they do not intend to take and verifying the drop by printing the "Student Class Program/Web Schedule bill. Once the financial aid award has been posted to students' account, students with a fee balance will be able to pay the balance through their MyCoast account. Students will be notified after the semester begins if they have a balance due. Note: If you do not receive this email, you are still responsible for paying your fees, or you may be dropped for non-payment. Applying for Financial Aid does not mean that you qualify for or will receive financial aid.

Cost & Fees: California College Promise Grant Recipients

(Formerly Board of Governors Fee Waiver-BOGFW)

Students that receive the California College Promise Grant are responsible for paying the College Service Charge and Student Health Fee, as the Grant only waives the per unit enrollment fees.

  Refund Processing

  Refunds will be automatically processed every week beginning the first week of registration of the semester in which the fees were paid and each week thereafter until the end of the term. Official withdrawals made in accordance with the refund policy and by the withdrawal deadline will generate a credit balance on the student account

If the Credit Card used to pay fees is no longer valid, it is the student's responsibility to notify the Admissions and Records Office once the credit has been posted to the student's account and prior to the refund being processed. The refund will be converted to a check refund upon proper notification.

  All requests for review of account summary must be made within a one-year grace period from the semester in which the fees were assessed. Such petitions are subject to review.

  In-Person Payment Refunds

  Fee payments paid in person, by cash, check, money order or credit card, will be refunded through BankMobile Disbursements, a technology solution, powered by BMTX, Inc.

Addresses can be updated on MyCoast Portal, "Update Personal Information" on the home page.

  Returned Checks

A hold will be placed on student records for any financial obligation until the obligation is cleared.
