• Fees are due 30 days from registration or May 12, whichever occurs first. If you register after May 12, your fees are due at the time of registration. You are encouraged to make payments immediately to confirm your registration requests. Failure to fully pay the required fees may result in cancellation of your classes.
• If you register on or after the first day of the session, your Tuition and Mandatory Fees will include an additional $25 non-refundable late registration fee.  Bring the completed "CPIE Summer Registration Form" with payment to the College of Professional & International Education.
• Failure to fully pay the required fees may result in cancellation of your classes.
• If you will not be attending classes, it is your responsibility to drop your classes. Financial Aid recipients may be issued a fee deferment which may prevent the cancellation of classes. If it is determined you are not eligible for financial aid, all tuition and fees remain your responsibility.
• Check your account statement in your MyCSULB Student Center for your payment due date. If payment is not made by your due date, a hold will be placed on your account preventing enrollment in classes, and preventing transcripts and other services.

The campus has contracted with CASHNet SmartPay to accept your credit card payments. SmartPay charges a 2.65% service charge on all payment transactions. There is no service charge to pay by E-Check through your MyCSULB Student Center or in person with ATM/Debit, check, money order, or cash.  New and non-matriculated students continue to pay in person at College of Professional and International Education, FND-104. The above payment methods do not apply.

Cashiers' Office, BH-148
Office Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

If you pay by credit card, your credit card statement is your receipt. If you pay by e-check, a receipt will be e-mailed to you. If you pay by mail or drop box, your cancelled check will serve as your receipt. If you would like a cash register receipt, enclose a self addressed, stamped envelope with your payment and make your request clear. If you pay in person, you will receive a cash register receipt. For a duplicate receipt, go to the Cashiers' Office or contact Student Account Services.

Dishonored Checks

A $20 dishonored check fee will be charged to your account if a personal check or e-check is returned dishonored for any reason. You will receive a letter from the University notifying you to pay the $20 immediately plus the amount of the dishonored check or e-check in cash, cashier's check, money order, or by credit card. Personal checks will not be accepted for repayment of dishonored checks.

Disputed Credit Card Charges

Contact Student Account Services at (562) 985-5471 (option 3), before disputing a credit card payment through your credit card company. If you pay for your fees by credit card and then later dispute that payment, Student Account Services may cancel your classes and place a financial hold on your access to transcripts, grades and registration. You will owe the University a $20 disputed credit card fee in addition to the original amount of the credit card payment. Your privileges to pay by credit card may also be revoked.

Partial payments are accepted only with an approved installment agreement. Payment Plans are now available on-line in your MyCSULB Student Center 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.

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.

A student whose company or organization wishes to be billed for the student's Summer fees must submit an authorization, at BH-155, by the start of the summer session you are enrolled in. Your sponsor must have an active contract for this purpose with the University. Please contact Student Account Services or call (562) 985-5471 (option 3), Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
