Undergraduate Tuition & Fees

The table below shows the tuition and mandatory campus fees for Undergraduate students for Spring and Fall terms.
Summer terms have a different pricing structure.

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 fees are initially charged or initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees. All listed fees, other than mandatory systemwide fees, are subject to change 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, 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).

*Non-resident per-unit amount is in addition to part-time or full-time tuition.
**Students can opt out of paying the SIRF fee.
***Totals do not include course fees or non-resident fees

Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE)

Undergraduate students who qualify for the WUE reduced tuition scholarship may enroll at 150 percent of Resident tuition.  For example, a full-time Undergraduate student at the WUE tuition rate would pay $4,563 for tuition each semester in the 24-25 academic year.
