Where do you claim the extra fees that have to be paid to the school that aren't included in the tuition?

My daughter's 1098-T form has all the tuition costs in Box 1 and her scholarships in Box 5, but all the different college fees or required parking are not included. Where can I deduct this? It doesn't fall under books & materials, but it is payable to the school.

Expenses for sports, games, hobbies or non-credit courses do not qualify for the education credits or tuition and fees deduction, except when the course or activity is part of the student’s degree program.

These do not fall into any of those categories.

Example:

Arts & Sciences College Fee, A & S Infrastructure fee, HES Infrastructure fee, HES College Fee, & Parking Permit for a commuter. All required to be paid to the university to attend classes.
