It is the student's responsibility to be aware of total fees due regardless if a notice is received.
Students with an approved Petition for Late Schedule Adjustment must pay any fees that may be due
because of the added units in addition to the $20.00 late schedule adjustment fee. The $20.00 late
schedule adjustment fee will be charged per petition. For example, a student who is enrolled in 6 units
and has an approved petition to add 3 additional units would need to pay the tuition difference
between part-time and full-time fees in addition to the $20.00 (per class) late add fee. You may also
incur a $50.00 late registration fee if you have no units and are approved to late register for the term.
Once the Office of the Registrar processes your request(s) you will be required to pay your Tuition &
Fees within 24 hours.
Please note: Dropping a class after the schedule adjustment deadline (based on Registrar’s 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 9 units of enrollment and full-time Tuition and Fees. In addition, if you are
dropping and adding a course at the same time it does not cancel each other out. If you have 9 units of
enrollment and you add a 3 unit course and drop a 3 unit course, you will now be liable for 12 units of
enrollment.
Students submitting authorization to bill a third party for their Tuition and Fees will be held
responsible for payment if the third-party agency fails to pay.
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 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 Tuition and Fees including any amounts due for the reservation of space in the course.
The institution may withhold permission to register, or other services offered by the institution from
anyone owing Tuition and Fees or another debt to the institution. The institution may also report the
debt to a credit bureau, offset the amount due against any future state tax refunds due the student, refer
the debt to an outside collection agency and/or charge the student actual and reasonable collection
costs, including reasonable attorney fees if litigation is necessary, in collecting any amount not paid
when due.
If a person believes he or she does not owe all or part of an asserted unpaid obligation, that person
may contact the Cal Coast Student Financial Center.
