De Anza College students will have to pay for classes immediately after registering, starting Spring 2013, Tatyana Grinenko, the chair of marketing, announced during the DASB senate meeting on Oct. 24.
In the spring quarter, De Anza will get rid of the “Pay to Stay” program in which students were given five days to pay their fees or be dropped from their classes.
But students will have options: pay for classes immediately after registering, pay a lump-sum payment or a scholarship, or see a counselor to set up a payment plan.
“It’s going to be down to either you pay immediately or the other two options,” said Grinenko.
She also announced that on Nov. 5 there will be a rally for Prop 30 in the main quad. The senate will promote red on that day.
The senate announced that the chair of the student rights services, Wagio Collins, is stepping down from her position. Katherine Perng will replace her as department chair.
Senator Karin Novak reported that campus police will now give tickets to people smoking outside the smoking zone.
“If you smoke, or have any smoker friends, make sure to warn them because they will be giving tickets out,” advised Novak.
Visitors from Foothill College were also present to experience the senate meeting.
