GRAND REOPENING NEW ID FOR FREE DEADLINE TO PETITION
The Don Express is now
open after being closed for
about a year because of ongo-
ing campus construction.
For the last two semesters,
students and teachers in the A,
C and D buildings needed to
walk all the way across cam-
pus for pre-packaged food
and snacks.
Students can now purchase
food and drinks on the east
side of campus.
The store should remain
open for business for the
entire spring semester.
—Nikki Nelsen Santa Ana College will require
students and staff to carry an
updated ID card.
The new IDs will be necessary
to access the library and the
Academic Computing Center.
The cards will also be needed in
order to print at the center.
Staff at the computing center
hope that all students replace
their old IDs with updated ones
by the end of this semester.
These IDs are now available
at the Student Business Office,
located at The Village in Room
205-B, open Monday through
Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
Friday, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
—Martha Ceja Students have just a few days
left to petition for graduation.
Thursday, March 23 is the final
day to do so for the Spring 2017
semester.
Students must meet the
necessary requirements, which

tion of at least 60 degree units
and a minimum 2.0 GPA.
Petition forms are available at
the Graduation Office located in
the S Building. For further infor-
mation call (714) 564-6052.

The University of California
Board of Regents approved
a proposed new budget for
2017-18 in January that will
increase tuition costs and fees
for the first time in six years.
The proposal will raise the
costs of tuition by $282 and
fees by $54. Out-of-state
undergraduate students can
now expect to pay $40,644 per
year and in-state graduates can
expect $12,630 per year.
With the new budget plan,
the UC Board of Regents
directly intends to address sig-
nificant issues universities face
such as enrollment growth for
California residents, increasing
faculty-to-student ratio, course
availability and expanding stu-
dent mental health services.
In addition, one-third of all
new tuition revenue will be set
aside for UC financial aid pro-
grams, which will increase the
pool of available funds.
