Graduation Fee

Student Life Fee
Peninsula College students voted to assess themselves a student life fee in the spring of 2022. That fee pays for student use of the Fitness Center, as well as minor capital improvements for student life, including the Pirate Union Building and the athletic complex.
Child Care
