Installment Plans

Partial payments are accepted only with an approved installment agreement. Payment Plans are now available on-line at your MyCSULB under the Student Center/Finances/Enroll in Payment Plan. Available Payment plans are determined at sign up, and no down payment is required. A non-refundable $33.00 administrative fee is charged for participation in a Payment Plan, and is included as a part of the first installment payment. Once you enroll in a payment plan, changes to your academic load, subsequent fee increases or new charges may affect the amount of your payments which are not necessarily distributed evenly.

Eligibility Requirements

You do not have a past due balance for a prior term.

First Day to Apply

To be determined

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.
