BACKGROUND:
Education Code Section 76140 requires the Governing Board of each Community College District to
establish the non-resident tuition fee to be charged to out-of-state students.
Attached is the non-resident tuition fee worksheet for 2011-12.
Column#

Calculation
State-wide Average Cost: $176
District Computed Cost: $177
It is recommended that the District charge a per-unit cost of $177 for 2011-12. This is the District
Computed Cost.
ESC 76141 authorizes Community College Districts to charge non-resident students who are both
citizens and residents of a foreign country an amount that was expended by the District for capital outlay
in the preceding year divided by the total full-time equivalent students. For Cabrillo, this amounts to a
per-unit charge of $6. These fees must be expended for capital outlay purposes. The total per-unit
combined cost for the non-resident students would be $183.
The per-unit non-resident tuition fee for 2010-11 was $183, and the capital outlay fee for 2010-11 was
$4. The total combined per-unit cost for non-resident students in 2010-11 was $187.
The per-unit non-resident tuition fee for 2011-12 is decreased by $6. The recommended capital outlay fee
for 2011-12 is $2 more than the amount charged in 2010-11.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The District’s overcap situation caused the per unit cost of non-resident fees to decline.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Governing Board (1) establish the per-unit non-resident tuition fee for
2011-12 at $177 based on District Computed Cost, and (2) establish a capital outlay at $6 per unit for
students who are both residents and citizens of a foreign country.

Option 3 comes from information provided in Column 3. Districts with ten percent or more noncredit
FTES are only able to utilize this option. If your district qualifies, then exclude noncredit FTES and
noncredit expense of education data when you fill out this column (ECS 76140(e)(1)(A)).
Option 6 ‘Highest Years Statewide Average Tuition’. The greater amount of statewide
nonresident tuition from 2006-07 through 2011-12, which is from 2007-08 at $190 per semester unit
or $126 per quarter unit (ECS 76140(e)(1)(B)).
Option 7 ‘No more than 12 Comparable States’ Average Tuition’. No greater than the 2009-10 average
nonresident tuition fee of public community colleges in a minimum of 12 states comparable to California in
cost of living. This average is calculated to be $280 per semester unit or $187 per quarter unit.
Requirement for Use of Options 6 and 7: It is the responsibility of the district to ensure and
document that the additional revenue generated by the increased nonresident tuition permitted under
options 6 and 7 shall be used to expand and enhance services to resident students only (ECS
76140(e)(2)).
