All students enrolled in classes held at off-campus locations are required to pay a fee that will help defray the cost of services provided at these locations. Off-campus locations include Westwood High School, San Antonio locations, the Round Rock Higher Education Center (RRHEC), and other locations not at the San Marcos campus. Distance learning courses (e.g., Internet, ITV, and video) are also considered to be classes held at off-campus locations.
