Fees Tuition and Books are covered through CCP Extra fees (such as lab fees) may not be covered by the university and would result in the student having to pay for them. Parking and transportation fees are the students expense. If a student exceeds their 30 credit allotment for the school year, they are financially responsible for the cost of the overage. If a student fails a course, or drops a course too late, they are responsible to cover the cost of that course and textbooks.
