FALL 2018 Money Matters
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
system wide 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 system wide 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).
Students will be liable for amounts that become due as a result of such change.
You must pay Tuition and Fees before you can access the Web registration system. "My Registration,"
available at the SDSU WebPortal, contains registration and payment information. The registration
process is not complete until you are officially enrolled in classes. Payment of fees alone does not
constitute registration.
All Cashier Holds must be cleared prior to paying for registration. Payments to clear financial holds
must be made by cash, debit cards, money order, or certified check. Inquire at Student Account
Services for more information. Personal checks or credit cards will NOT be accepted.
Liability of Payment
It is the student's responsibility to be aware of total fees due whether or not an invoice is received.
Students with an approved Petition for Late Schedule Adjustment must pay, in addition to the
$20.00 late add fee, any fees that may be due as a result of the added units. For example, if a student
is currently enrolled in 6 units and has an approved Petition to add 3 additional units, in addition to
the $20.00 late fee, the fees for the difference between part-time and full-time fees are due BEFORE
the Office of the Registrar will process the add request.
Please note: Dropping a class after the schedule adjustment deadline (based on approved Petition only)
does not reduce your fee liability. If you are enrolled in 9 units and drop 3 units, you will still be liable
for full-time Basic Tuition and Fees.
Students submitting authorization to bill a third party for their Basic Tuition and Fees will be held
responsible for payment if the third party agency fails to pay.

accurate. / SDSU Fall 2018 Money Matters Updated 03/29/2018 4 | Page
According to Title 5, of the California Code of Regulations, Sections 42380 and 42381, should a student
or former student fail to pay any debt owed to the institution, the institution may "withhold permission
to register, to use facilities for which a fee is authorized to be charged, to receive services, materials,
food or merchandise or any combination of the above from any person owing a debt" until the debt is
paid.
Prospective students who register for courses offered by the university are obligated for the payment of
Basic Tuition and Fees associated with registration for those courses. Failure to cancel registration in
any course for an academic term prior to the first day of the academic term gives rise to an obligation to
pay Basic Tuition and Fees including any amounts due for the reservation of space in the course.
Tuition and Fees
Basic Tuition and Fees are required of all students. Nonresident and Graduate Business students pay the
Basic Tuition and Fees as listed below and additional per unit tuition and fees (see Professional Business
Fee and Nonresident Tuition sections below).
Thesis extension, other zero unit courses and half unit courses are charged as one unit for fee purposes.
Auditors pay the same fee as students carrying courses for credit.

The CSU Board of Trustees adopted the SIRF, establishing a stable funding model for the California
State Student Association (CSSA). The new funding model expands independence and builds capacity
to engage students in advocacy and policy making. The funding model consists of a $2 per-term fee
assessed to each CSU student, on a voluntary basis, allowing the choice to opt-out each semester. SDSU
students can opt out of this fee by logging into your SDSU Webportal and clicking on “SIRF Opt
Out”. The deadline for opting out of SIRF is 30 days after the term census date. For the Fall 2018
term that day is October 24, 2018.

(census).
Tuition for Nonresident Students (Foreign or Out-Of-State)
Tuition for Nonresident students may be paid using any of the methods outlined under Payment Options.
To avoid additional service charges for nonresident tuition, payment for nonresident tuition must be paid
in full prior to the first day of classes. If you are subject to nonresident tuition and do not pay in full
prior to the first day of classes, or submit an installment contract, service charges will be assessed, and
late charges may apply. If nonresident tuition is not paid prior to the 20th class day (census), your
registration may be cancelled.
Health Insurance (mandatory for foreign students) is approximately $1,282.00 per year.
Minimum Payment Requirements for Foreign Students:
Undergraduate foreign students must pay for, or sign a tuition fee installment payment agreement
for a minimum of 12 units.
Graduate foreign students must pay for, or sign a tuition fee installment payment agreement for a
minimum of 9 units.
Foreign students wishing to pay for fewer than 12 units (9 units, if graduate) must submit to
Student Account Services an approved reduced course load request form from the International
Student Center.

Fee Waivers
In some instances, student’s tuition and fees may be partially or fully paid by outside agencies or
waivers.
CSU - Over 60 Fee Waiver Program
San Diego State University offers a fee waiver program for California residents 60 years of age and
older. Both undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students may participate in the program. The program
waives the $55.00 admission application fee and most of the Basic Tuition and Fees. The student will be
responsible for paying a substantially reduced fee each semester in order to attend. Please contact
Student Account Services for the current fee amount. Participants must apply for admission during the
regular application filing period and be admitted under regular SDSU admission requirements.
Participants register for classes on a space-available basis after regularly matriculated students have
completed registration. For additional information, contact the Prospective Student Center at (619) 594-
6336.
CSU - Alan Pattee Scholarships
Children of deceased public law enforcement or fire suppression employees who were California
residents and who were killed in the course of law enforcement or fire suppression duties are not
charged the system-wide mandatory fees or tuition at any California State University campus, according
to the Alan Pattee Scholarship Act, California Education Code, Section 68121. Please be aware however
campus fees are not waived and payment of these fees are the responsibility of the student.
New students qualifying for these benefits need to contact the Prospective Student Center at (619) 594-
6336 and current students need to contact the Office of the Registrar at 619-594-6871 to determine
eligibility.
Third Party Billing/Approved Fee Waivers
If an outside agency (agency, government program, Employee Fee Waiver, etc.) is paying all or part of
your Basic Tuition and Fees, you will need to send your fee payment coupon from “My Registration"
and a copy of your authorization letter to Student Account Services. Failure to do so will result in your
fees being deducted from your financial aid award or the inability to register for classes. Students
submitting authorization to bill a third party for their fees will be held responsible for the payment if the
third party agency fails to pay the fees within the semester of attendance.
VA Vocational Rehabilitation (Chapter 31)
Veterans receiving Vocational Rehabilitation benefits (Chapter 31) must contact the Campus Veterans
Affairs Office (Student Services West 1661) to obtain a payment authorization form to submit to the
Student Account Services office by their fee payment deadline.

Veterans receiving Post 911 GI Bill benefits must contact the campus Veterans Affairs Office (Student
Services West 1661) and turn in an approved VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE) by their fee payment
deadline. Once submitted the VA Office will notify Student Accounts of your eligibility to register for

Eligible dependents receiving the Cal Vet fee waiver must submit an approved letter of eligibility issued

Services West 1661). This must be submitted by your fee payment deadline. Once submitted the VA
Office will notify Student Accounts of your eligibility to register for classes. Please note that the Cal Vet
Fee waiver will only waive the CSU system wide basic tuition fee; all other mandatory campus fees are
required to be paid by the student each semester.
Financial Aid Tuition and Fee Payment Postponement
The "My Registration" online service will tell you if you are eligible to postpone the payment of your Basic
Tuition and Fees. If eligible, postponing the payment of your registration fee will be automatic. Your Basic
Tuition and Fees will be deducted from the first disbursement of your financial aid at the beginning of the
semester.
You can also check your eligibility to postpone the payment of your fee by going to the Office of
Financial Aid and Scholarships Web site and selecting AidLink. All required financial aid documents
must be submitted to be able to determine your eligibility. If your financial aid award is reduced or
becomes unavailable for any reason, you must pay your fees in full by the census date.
If you are not eligible to postpone the payment of your fees, do not wait until your registration access
date to find out you cannot register.
Disbursement of Financial Aid and Scholarship Funds
All financial aid and scholarship payments are processed and disbursed by Student Account Services:
Notification and Schedule
Disbursement begins 10 days prior to the first day of classes of each semester and continues throughout
the semester as new awards are processed or changes to awards occur.

institutional expenses (including financial aid overpayments) before releasing funds to you. Past due
bills and other student account charges may delay the disbursement of funds until they are paid. Student
Account Services will send you an e-mail notice when your financial aid or scholarship funds are
deposited to your bank account.

Refunds of Non Financial Aid Funds
If you are due a refund for either withdrawing from the university by the withdrawal deadline or
dropping units by the schedule adjustment deadline you will receive your refund in the following form:
Tuition and Fees paid using Checks, Money Orders, Certified Funds, Cash or Debit Cards, will
receive the refund in the form of a SDSU check. All refund checks are mailed to the address on file with
the Office of the Registrar. Make sure that your address is updated on your SDSU Webportal to ensure
timely delivery of your refund.
Tuition and Fees paid online using our electronic Check /Savings accounts (ACH) process, will
receive an electronic refund to the account used to make the payment.
Tuition and Fees paid online using Credit Cards (CashNetSmartPay), will receive an electronic
refund back to the credit card used to make the payment.
Tuition and fees paid by a 3
rd
party, (e.g. employer, government or military, foreign agency, etc.),
payments will be refunded back to the 3
rd
party according to the regulations as stated in Section 41802
of Title 5 in the California Code of Regulations and following the Return to Title IV calculations.
Information concerning any aspect of the refund of fees may be obtained from Student Account
Services.
Refunds may be applied against other amounts due to the university.
Refund Policy
Regulations governing the refund of mandatory fees, including nonresident tuition, are included in
Section 41802 of Title 5, California Code of Regulations. For purposes of the refund policy, mandatory
fees are defined as those system-wide fees and campus fees that are required to be paid in order to enroll
in state-supported academic programs at the California State University.
Return to Title IV
When a student who has received Title IV financial aid withdraws or otherwise fails to complete a period
of enrollment for which he or she was charged, the institution is required to determine if a refund must be
made to the student or if unearned aid must be returned to the federal accounts.
Calculations will be based on the withdrawal date and the percentage of the period of enrollment
completed. If Title IV funds have been disbursed during the enrollment period, aid will first be re-
turned by the institution to the programs in the order listed below as required by law and determined by
the university. If funds have been disbursed directly to the student, he or she may be required to repay
any unearned aid. In some cases where eligibility for aid exceeds the amount disbursed, the regulations
allow for a post-withdrawal disbursement, the university will notify you of the process required to
receive the funds.
Information on this website is subject to change without notice. Every effort is made to ensure that information is current and

Appeal Process – Petition for Special Consideration
Information on this website is subject to change without notice. Every effort is made to ensure that information is current and
accurate. / SDSU Fall 2018 Money Matters Updated 03/29/2018 25 | Page
An appeals process exists for students who feel that individual circumstances warrant exceptions from
published policy. Students should file a “Petition for Special Consideration” obtainable at Student
Account Services. Petitions must be filed with Student Account Services prior to the end of the twelfth
week of classes.
Petitions outside the scope of published policy in accordance with the deadlines stated in the Class
Schedule, Catalog, and registration material are approved only when applicants can demonstrated
exceptional circumstances and the chief financial officer or designee determines that the university did
not earn Basic Tuition and Fees.
The following situations are typical of those for which “exceptional circumstances” is an appropriate
justification for reviewing accounts:
1. Unexpected Medical Situation: verifiable accident, illness, or personal problems serious enough
to cause withdrawal from the University.
2. Schedule adjustments based on department recommendation.
3. Death in the immediate family.
4. Other unusual or very special cases, considered on a case-by-case basis.
The following situations would not fall under “exceptional circumstances”:
1. Grade anticipated in class is not sufficiently high, or the student is failing.
2. Dissatisfaction with course material, instructional method, and/or professor.
3. Class is harder than expected.
4. Pressure of other classes, participation in social activities, or lack of motivation.
5. Inability to pay.
6. Work conflict.
The petition is intended for students who dropped classes outside of the dates listed on the refund
schedule or failed to make proper payment resulting in subsequent mandatory fees but feel they have an
exceptional circumstance which prevented them from meeting their obligation.
