¹All diploma program students, with the exception of Vocational Nursing, must pay a $20 nonrefundable application fee upon enrollment. Vocational Nursing students and all Associate degree program students must pay a $60 nonrefundable application fee upon enrollment.

²Fees vary by program and include items such as customized uniforms, classroom consumables, administrative and technology fees. Fees also cover campus safety resources supporting training activities, acquisition and maintenance of security systems including but not limited to security cameras, access control and emergency broadcast systems. For clinical and degree programs, it also includes fees associated with health and background screenings, test preparation, examinations, licensure and certification.

³Includes books, laptop computer, digital or electronic course materials, and other supplies for which students have the right to opt out and purchase from other sources. ACC is able to offer these books and supplies, including digital or electronic course materials to students below competitive market rates. Opting out does not require the school to provide you with an alternative delivery method and you will be responsible for obtaining all required course materials. Students that choose to obtain or purchase books and supplies from other sources must do so by the 7th day of class. If the course material is not available from any other source but the institution, students will not be able to opt out of those required books and supplies.

⁴Effective April 1, 2022, we will start collecting the Student Tuition Recovery Fund at the rate of two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) per one thousand dollars ($1,000) of institutional charges for students with a first payment scheduled after April 1, 2022.

The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution, who is or was a California resident while enrolled, or was enrolled in a residency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state-imposed assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition.

You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if you are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program.

It is important that you keep copies of your enrollment agreement, financial aid documents, receipts, or any other information that documents the amount paid to the school. Questions regarding the STRF may be directed to the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, 1747 N. Market Blvd. Ste 225 Sacramento, CA 95834, (916) 574-8900 or (888) 370-7589.

 

To be eligible for STRF, you must be a California resident or enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid or deemed to have paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following:

1. The institution, a location of the institution, or an educational program offered by the institution was closed or discontinued, and you did not choose to participate in a teach-out plan approved by the Bureau or did not complete a chosen teach-out plan approved by the Bureau.
2. You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution within the 120 day period before the closure of the institution or location of the institution, or were enrolled in an educational program within the 120 day period before the program was discontinued.
3. You were enrolled at an institution or a location of the institution more than 120 days before the closure of the institution or location of the institution, in an educational program offered by the institution as to which the Bureau determined there was a significant decline in the quality or value of the program more than 120 days before closure.
4. The institution has been ordered to pay a refund by the Bureau but has failed to do so.
5. The institution has failed to pay or reimburse loan proceeds under a federal student loan program as required by law, or has failed to pay or reimburse proceeds received by the institution in excess of tuition and other costs.
6. You have been awarded restitution, a refund, or other monetary award by an arbitrator or court, based on a violation of this chapter by an institution or representative of an institution, but have been unable to collect the award from the institution.
7. You sought legal counsel that resulted in the cancellation of one or more of your student loans and have an invoice for services rendered and evidence of the cancellation of the student loan or loans.

To qualify for STRF reimbursement, the application must be received within four (4) years from the date of the action or event that made the student eligible for recovery from STRF.

A student whose loan is revived by a loan holder or debt collector after a period of noncollection may, at any time, file a written application for recovery from STRF for the debt that would have otherwise been eligible for recovery. If it has been more than four (4) years since the action or event that made the student eligible, the student must have filed a written application for recovery within the original four (4) year period, unless the period has been extended by another act of law.

However, no claim can be paid to any student without a social security number or a taxpayer identification number.

⁵Estimated total charges for the entire educational program does not include transportation costs to and from externship or clinical sites. This cost is the student’s responsibility.
