Board of Governor's Enrollment Fee Waiver (BOG) The Board of Governor's Enrollment Fee Waiver waives the unit enrollment fee at Communtiy Colleges for California residents, including high school students so that the cost of enrollment is not a barrier. BOG eligibility is based on financial need and is not affected by academic progress. BOG recipients pay $20 per semester for a parking permit. BOG does not cover bus pass fees. Bus passes may be obtained for $55 per semester. The BOG is not a cash award and does not cover other educational expenses. Financial Aid Programs Financial aid is used to pay for mandatory fees, books, transportation, room and board and other educational expenses while attending Cabrillo. Awards are contingent upon the availability of funds. If funds are insufficient, Cabrillo College reserves the right to adjust financial aid awards as necessary.
