Monthly Payment Plan

All students are now eligible to enroll in a Monthly Payment Plan to cover tuition and fees.  The plan will provide you with the option to start making smaller, monthly payments in advance of the semester. Enroll EARLY (even before registration) in order to lock in the longest payment term and smallest monthly payments!  To learn more, visit the Payment Plan Information page.

CSU Student Costs

The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, the CSU must reserve the right, even after initial payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees, without notice, until the date for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor, or the Presidents, as appropriate. Changes in mandatory systemwide fees will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Working Families Student Fee Transparency and Accountability Act (Sections 66028 - 66028.6 of the Education Code).
