Most full-time students who pay Student Society fees and levies are required to participate in the CCSS Student Benefits Plan. Eligible students (those enrolled in eligible programs of nine class hours per week or more) will be automatically assessed fees at the time of registration. The fees for the Student Benefits Plan are currently $240 per year. These fees are assessed in two equal assessments of $120 for each of the fall and winter academic periods.
