FEES:
Quest classes re offered for college credit. Students will be charged an Enrollment Fee of $20 for each unit of credit ($10 for half-unit course). Students taking classes on the Chabot College campus must also pay the $13 Student Health Fee. The Health Fee is not required for classes meeting off-campus. There is a $35.00 non-refundable Facility Usage Fee for Water Exercise Classes in addition to the Enrollment Fee.

It is extremely important that no older adult be denied the opportunity for education because of the inability to pay fees. Please contact the Quest office if you need information of financial assistance.
