Pasadena Area Community College District Official Statement: BOG Waiver

Pasadena, Calif., – Pasadena City College responds with official statement on the BOG Waiver issue.

The District has always strongly supported the BOG waiver for students who cannot afford to pay the fees.  Now that the Board of Governor’s has issued a new directive, effective in fall 2015, to require that BOG waiver students must maintain a 2.0 average, the District must of course comply.  “We will work hard in the coming year to make sure that every student has both the financial aid and the academic support to move successfully to graduate and transfer,” said Dr. Mark Rocha, Superintendent-President.  “We do not want this regulation to adversely affect any PCC student.”
