5. Pay your fees
Keep in mind that if you change your class schedule, your fees may change too, e.g. if you add classes or are moved from a waitlist into a class, you might owe additional fees. Failure to pay an additional fee due may result in cancellation of the added class.
To find out how much, when and how to pay your summer fees, go to Fees and Finances – Basics.
6. Manage your class schedule and account
It is very important that you check your class schedule regularly at MyCSULB noting class cancellations, room changes, whether or not you are moved from the waitlist, and especially when you make changes to your classes. Check your account regularly and pay any fees resulting from changes in your schedule promptly.
Be sure to verify your preferred email address at MyCSULB since the University uses email for official university notifications. You are responsible for ensuring your preferred email address is accurate and up-to-date and for reading your email regularly. Failure to do so may result in missing important information!
