Student Insurance
Certain risks are inherent in any work involving regular contact with mechanical and electrical equipment. While stringent precautions will be taken to ensure safety, it is felt to be in the interest of all students to provide some measure of insurance protection. A group policy, providing the desired insurance protection, will be maintained in effect by the College, and all students will be required to subscribe to such coverage.
Technology Fee
For Curriculum students, a computer use and technology fee will be charged each semester.
Caps Fee
Campus Access and Security Fee for Curriculum and Continuing Education students is charged each semester for Asheville, Woodfin, and Madison.
Student Activity Fees
The student activity fee will be charged to all online students and students enrolled on the A-B Tech Asheville campus during the Fall and Spring semesters. Career and College Promise (CCP) students are excluded.
Past Due Balances
Students who owe the college money for a past term are required to pay the entire balance before being able to register or receive grades. SBCC State Board Code 1E SBCCC 200.2(c)
