The contract must be signed by the student. An Echeck payment or credit card payment via the payment website will not be accepted for the down payment. The installment plan does not pay fees 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. 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.

Your Financial Obligations

Regardless of who funds your education, you are personally responsible for making sure that your registration fees and any other fees or charges are paid on time to CSULB. If you do not pay your balance, in addition to canceling your registration requests, the University can authorize the California Franchise Tax Board to deduct your debt from any future state income tax refunds due to you. If the University takes this measure, you will no longer be allowed to write checks to CSULB for any fees or services.

Rollover of Fees

Students may transfer fees to another Summer Session class without penalty prior to the session start date. Students transferring fees (rollover of fees) during the first week of a six-week or longer session may apply the total fees paid for the original class to the substitute class. If however, the total cost is reduced, part of the fee will be lost in accordance with the Refund Schedule. If the substitute class is subsequently dropped at a later date the refund will be based on the date of the rollover. See Refunds.
