What education fees can be deducted as "required"? I've seen examples that a lab fee can be deducted as required, but not general fees.
Basically can any fee that is charged in order to take a course deductible under "required? I've seen where lab fees are. We were charged a "Computer Science" fee because of a CS course (not every semester), can that be claimed? What about a Writing Center Lab fee, again because of a particular course, not every semester? One place says that the Activity Fee can be claimed. It looks like most fees that are charged every semester cannot be claimed (e.g., health, recreation, sports, parking, etc), so confused about the Activity fee. Thank you.

Required means that every student is required to pay it in order to attend the school. So, if all students are required to pay an activity fee then it is deductible. If the activity fee is only required if you WANT to attend the activities then it is not deductible.
Certain fees are never deductible. Even if you pay the following expenses to enroll or attend the school, the following are not qualified education expenses:
- Room and board
- Insurance
- Medical expenses (including student health fees)
- Transportation
- Similar personal, living or family expenses
Here is a link to the IRS site discussing what is and is not deductible. https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/qualified-ed-expenses
