Fees (SP25)

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 fees are initially charged or initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees.  All listed fees, other than mandatory systemwide fees, are subject to change 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, the Chancellor, or the Presidents, as appropriate.  Changes in mandatory systemwide fees will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Working Families Student Fee Transparency and Accountability Act (Sections 66028-66028.6 of the Education Code).

To provide better service, student e-mail is one of the primary means of communication to all CSUDH students by the Offices of Admissions, Financial Aid, Records & Registration, and Student Financial Services. Messages regarding important deadlines, missing documents and other correspondences will be sent to your official CSUDH e-mail address.

Students can request additional information by contacting Student Financial Services at sfs@csudh.edu or by phone at (310) 243-3780.

Account balances are viewable under the Finance section of your Student Center or via Transact located in the Launchpad of your MyCSUDH.

Students who have been awarded and have accepted financial aid for Spring 2025 sufficient to cover their fees in full will not be disenrolled. Those students for whom disbursed aid does not cover their fees, who have been determined to be ineligible for aid, or have a past due balance, may be disenrolled for nonpayment. Fees may be paid three ways: online, in person, or by mail.
