PLEASE NOTE! Class fees have increased, and new fees have been implemented...
Because of State budget funding cuts to public schools, Berkeley Adult School has implemented a new fee structure:
•
ESL and
high school/GED/basic education classes now have a
$30/semester registration processing fee for an unlimited number of classes. There is still no class tuition fee.
•
Off-site older adult classes now have a
$30/semester registration processing fee. There is still no class tuition fee. (Some of the off-site locations charge a separate facility usage fee of their own.)
•
Career Tech Ed classes (computers, some health career classes, other career training) have a variety of fees depending on the number of hours and meetings. Check the individual listings for details.
•
Fee-based classes (Saturday workshops, foreign languages, dance, traffic school) have had a fee increase to cover increased costs, since there is no state support.
