To participate in an Installment Plan, students may print the contract and bring it in person to the Cashier’s windows located in Brotman Hall Room 148.
Students may also participate in the installment plan by mail or by using the “Installment Plan” drop box located on the first floor in Brotman Hall, across from room BH 155. (marked “Installment Plan Drop Box”). The first payment due is the amount indicated in the above table payable by check accompanied by a signed (original only, photo copy not accepted) installment contract. The contract must be signed by the student. An Echeck payment or credit card payment via the payment website will not be accepted. The installment plan does not cover course fees or other fees including those from a previous term. Any such fees will need to be paid with your initial down payment or the installment plan will not be accepted. If there are any problems with the paperwork, payment amount or the student is not eligible, the payment will be returned. Please note, if the contract is not reflected on your student account, classes are subject to cancellation. It is the student’s responsibility to check their MyCSULB to ensure payment is accurately reflected. For additional questions, contact Student Account Services at (562) 985-8280.
