State University Fee
The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, CSU must reserve the right, even after initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees, without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by The Board of Trustees.
PLEASE NOTE: New State University Fee rates have not been established at time of publication, so the rates listed below are the same as 2009-2010. If and when new rates are established, they will be posted on this website.
