Tuition and health insurance fees are paid each quarter, not in an annual sum.
Tuition cost is based on the number of units taken and may be different each quarter. For this reason, payments are not due until you have chosen and enrolled in your classes.
All other expenses, including books and housing, are paid separately.
Summer Quarter Tuition Payments
Please note that all fees for summer classes must be paid within 5 days of registration, or you will be dropped from your classes.
Tuition Payment Deadline for F-1 Status Students
Tuition fees for international students in F-1 status must be paid by the Friday of the second week of each quarter.Special note: If payments are not received by the end of the second week of each quarter, you will be dropped from your classes.
A full-time F-1 student at Foothill, taking a class at De Anza (or a full-time F-1 student at De Anza taking a class at Foothill), must pay the fees at the second school (where he/she is not the full-time student) within five days of class registration.

How to Pay Tuition Fees
Tuition can be paid by credit card, check, or money order through the following methods:
In person at the Admissions & Records Office, Room 8101.
Tuition cannot be paid by wire transfer or an electronic bank deposit.
Payment Suggestions for Overseas Sponsors
The student can open a bank account in the U.S. The sponsor can then transfer the tuition amount into the student's U.S. bank account, and the student will pay Foothill College with a personal check drawn on that account. This is the most common option for overseas sponsors.
The sponsor can pay the student's fees by credit card. This can be done by logging in to the student's online account on Foothill's Web site or by phone. To use this option, the student must provide the sponsor with his/her account login information.
The sponsor can mail the student an international bank draft in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. bank. The draft must be payable to "Foothill College." The student will then take this draft to the campus cashier at the Admissions & Records Office, Room 8101.
Tuition Payment Plan
If you do not have the entire amount needed to cover your tuition fees by the end of the second week of the quarter, you can sign an agreement with the Admissions & Records Office, Room 8101, allowing you to make three monthly payments spread evenly throughout the quarter. The entire amount must be paid in full before being allowed to register for classes for the following quarter.
