The college's regular business hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with the exception of mid-May to mid-August when we observe a four day work week to conserve energy costs. The first 50 pages of black and white, letter-, or legal-sized copies are free.
The following additional fees will be charged and you will be required to pay the fees prior to the processing of your request:
- Pages 51 and up will be charged 15 cents per page
