Miscellaneous Course Fees

Some classes charge course fees for special materials or activities. Any course fees will be charged at the time you register for the course. If you do not plan to use the supplies or services covered by the course fee, see the class instructor or department office to request a waiver. Fees are subject to change without advance notice. Check your account summary at MyCSULB immediately after registering for classes.

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.

The University will not automatically change your residence classification when you become a California resident. You must apply through Enrollment Services, BH-101, at which time you must be able to present personal records that demonstrate establishment of residency. For Summer 2008, you must show continuous California residency as of June 1, 2008 and must apply no later than April 1, 2008 for the summer term. You will be required to pay non-resident tuition fees until Enrollment Services approves your reclassification.

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.
