How To Pay Your Fees
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, CSU must reserve the right, even after initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees, without notice, until the date when instruction 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.
Important: Proposition 30 Press Release
The Proposition 30 ballot initiative was approved by voters in the November 6, 2012 election. As a result, the California State University will implement the tuition fee contingency plan as previously approved by the Board of Trustees. The California State University will roll back tuition fees to 2011-12 fee levels; retroactive to the fall 2012 term.
Please note, registration fees have not been posted to your account. Your registration fees will be posted to your account no later than December 21, 2012. You will be notified via your CSUSM email once fees have been posted to your account as well as instructions regarding payment terms.
