In Case of Fees for Dual Enrollment
Enrollment fees and other per-term fees are waived for K-12 students who complete the Steps for Dual Enrollment.
This includes Dual Enrollment in traditional El Camino College classes and classes offered in partnership with your high school.
Follow the instructions below to request assistance in the event you are charged fees or have a hold on your account for fees.
Why do I have fees?
K-12 students are required to submit a completed Dual Enrollment Form for each term they wish to register for classes. This form makes a student eligible for a K-12 Fee Waiver, to waive the fees for their approved courses.
In some instances, this K-12 Fee Waiver needs to be manually added or adjusted by the Admissions & Records Office to correctly waive a student's fees.
The Dual Enrollment Office regularly runs a report to search for K-12 students with a Dual Enrollment Form on file who are being charged fees — and also for K-12 students who were block enrolled into High School Partnership Classes who are being charged fees.
We provide these reports to El Camino's Admissions & Records Office to request that the fees be waived on behalf of the students. There is nothing else that affected students need to do.
In the meantime
Before your fees are waived, please do not pay the incorrect fees!
Students who pay may be eligible for a refund at some point after their fees are waived, but that process takes time.
Per the Class Schedule, "Refund checks will be mailed by the mid-point of the semester. Address changes should be promptly updated in the Admissions Office or via online form."
Fees Hold
K-12 students with an outstanding balance on their account may experience a Fees Hold in MyECC which will prevent them from registering for future classes until the hold is removed.
- K-12 students (and former K-12 dual enrolled students) with incorrect fees can email [email protected] for support to remove a Fees Hold
- Make sure to include your 7-digit El Camino Student ID Number
- Students must have a Dual Enrollment Form on file for the course/term causing the fees
The Dual Enrollment Office can help to remove a hold for incorrect fees to allow students to register for classes — but we cannot waive the fees themselves. Even once removed, Fees Holds may return again until the fees are waived.
