How Do I Register for Fee-Based Classes?
The fee-based registration system is separate from the tuition-free class registration system.
If you are a new fee-based student, you must first create a student profile to become a Santa Barbara City College “Fee-Based” student and then register for classes.

Quick Fee-based FAQs
You can pay with a VISA or MasterCard credit card if you register either online or in person at the Schott or Wake Campus. Cash and checks are no longer accepted.
Materials fees include items used in class or taken home (e.g. handouts, food for cooking, etc). Lab fees include specialized classroom supplies, utilities, personnel costs and may include off-campus classroom rental fees. (Thanks to a generous grant, the $5 registration fee for Fee-based classes has been removed starting Summer 2024.)
If you enrolled in a Fee-based class that is being taught via Zoom, the instructor will email you the Zoom link before the class starts. If you have questions regarding the link, please connect by email with your instructor. Instructor emails can be found here.
