RETURNING STUDENTS MUST APPLY FOR ADMISSION

Failure to pay registration fees will result in cancellation of your application and you will be required to reapply for any subsequent term by the published deadlines.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

The international “hold” will be placed on international students who do not enroll full-time. A hold will be placed on students who did not submit their passport number and/or current address to their office or who fail to provide proof of health insurance coverage prior to registration.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE THE CSUDH INSURANCE PLAN

Health/medical coverage will include $250,000 maximum aggregate benefits per injury or illness and repatriation/medical evacuation to the student’s home country. The term of coverage must run from January 2025 through January 2026. Questions may be directed to (310) 243-2215.

A non-resident student who is a citizen and resident of a foreign country may pay the required non-resident tuition fee on an installment basis (this includes a 7% service charge). Prior arrangements must be made, and payment must be in three monthly equal installments. For more information refer to our web site at MyCSUDH.
