How does the BOGFW work?

You do not receive any money; instead your enrollment fees are waived after registration activity.  You are responsible for paying any and all fees remaining.
 
Your Board of Governors Fee Waiver will be posted on the college’s registration fee screen.  If you paid your enrollment fees before the Board of Governors Fee Waiver was applied to your account, the Registration Office will complete a refund of those fees.

ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO PAY ENROLLMENT FEES at the time of registration.  The Board of Governors Fee Waiver does not pay the Health Fee, College Service Charge, course material fees, and any other fees associated with your enrollment. 

Board of Governors Fee Waiver students pay $20 for the parking permit - not $30.  If you are charged $30 for the parking permit, please contact the Registration Office.
