Legal residents of California are not charged tuition. The information on these pages reflects applicable systemwide fees and nonresident tuition. Fees may vary from one academic year or semester to the next. Thus, you should use the left navigation to select a specific year or semester to view its schedule of registration fees, nonresident tuition, and other fees and charges. Because fees are subject to change without notice, you should check them at the time of registration to ensure that you have seen the current amounts. You can call the Campus Service Center or check the CSUMB.EDU/calendar webpages to determine registration dates each semester.
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.
Notes
- Starting with Spring 2007 semester, you will not be required to pay tuition and campus fees prior to registering for classes. However, payment not received by the designated due date will result in being disenrolled from your classes (see section on Tuition/Fees Deadlines).
- Fees for auditing are the same as for credit.
-
Mandatory systemwide fees are waived for those individuals who qualify for such exemption under the provisions of the California Education Code (see section on Fee Waivers).
Fee Allocation
A fee advisory committee comprised of a student majority provides advice to the campus president about charging student fees and allocating campus-based fee revenue. Resources from the materials, services, and facilities fee are used to support a variety of services, and currently are allocated to support health services, instructionally related activities, transportation, childcare, and university services (includes ID card, transcripts, campus catalog, graduation/diploma). The allocation to transportation supports alternative modes of transportation, including the shuttle service, but does not include a parking permit. If you elect to purchase a parking permit, you will pay an additional fee as noted in Other Fees and Charges.
