REFUND REGULATIONS

Listed below are only those fees which are directly related to registration, and therefore are not all inclusive of the fees charged by the University. For a complete listing of all fees, consult the 2004-2006 University Catalog. Fees are subject to change upon approval by the Trustees of the California State University and/or budgetary approval by the State Legislature and Governor. The fee for auditors is the same as for those receiving credit. If you have any questions, call (916) 278-7041.

You will be able to access CASPER , the telephone registration system, only if your payment is received by the student financial services center (either by mail or in their drop box) at least five business days (excluding holidays) before your assigned telephone registration day.

If you have a hold, we will accept your new semester registration fee payment. However, you will not be able to register by CASPER as long as the hold remains. All obligations must be cleared in order to register.

The form which all students must use for paying fees is called the Fee Statement form. The Fee Statement form will be included in your Invitation to Register which will be mailed to you. Students must return the Fee Statement form with their method of payment (full payment, first State University Fee installment or sponsor). See the Invitation to Register for appropriate instructions and amounts.

FEES MAY CHANGE. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE AMOUNT OF FEES TO PAY WHEN YOU REGISTER, CALL (916) 278-7041. YOU WILL BE BILLED OR REFUNDED FOR ANY CHANGE.

Students who are enrolled for any part of a semester may be liable for fees owed the University.

A.

State University Fee Installment Payment Plan: To be eligible for this program, a student must have all obligations paid. Sponsored students and students eligible for financial aid (including Direct Loans) are not eligible to utilize the State University Fee Installment Payment Plan. The following terms and conditions apply to the State University Fee Installment Payment Plan:

 

1.

The State University Fee plan requires that fees are paid in three installments. The first installment is paid at the time of registration and represents 1/3 of the State University Fee plus the $276.00 of miscellaneous fees (IRA, ASI, Facilities, University Union, Health Fee and Hornet Newspaper Fee) and a one-time $33.00 non-refundable administrative fee.

The first installment payment will be:

 
0-6 Units
More than 6 units
Undergraduate
$553.00
$729.00
Credential Program
$592.00
$796.00
Graduate
$609.00
$826.00

The first installment is due in the Student Financial Services Center (either by mail or in the Student Financial Services Center Drop box) at lease five business days (excluding holidays) before your scheduled telephone date to register. The Fee Statement form in the Invitation to Register, much be signed and returned with your check or money order. The last day to sign up on the plan is September 2, 2005 for Fall 2005 and January 27, 2006 for Spring 2006. The second installment will reflect half of the balance due at the time the statement is generated. The third installment will reflect the balance of unpaid fees.

The remaining two installments will be due as follows:

Fall 2005
October 3 and November 3
Spring 2006
March 3 and April 3

 

 

A statement will be mailed to the address you have listed with the Registrar’s Office. If you do not receive a statement, it is still your responsibility to pay on the due dates.

 

 

 

2.

Students who wish to make advance payments prior to receiving a statement may do so at the Student Financial Services Center. However, you will still receive a statement as scheduled, but the amount will be reduced.

 

 

 

3.

If you have paid for the full-time installment fee plan, but only received six or less units through CASPER, the excess amount paid will be applied to the balance due and your installment payments will be reduced accordingly.

By signing the last line of the Fee Statement form, or authorizing your credit card payment by phone or web, for the State University Fee Installment Payment Plan, you promise to pay to California State University, Sacramento, the full fee amount (including any and all fee increases) by the due dates. This promise is given in consideration for enrollment in the academic term for which these installment payments apply. If you fail to make any installment payment by the date specified, or your check is not honored by your bank, you will be subject to: (1) a late fee of $10.00, (2) disenrollment for the academic term, (3) the University withholding any of its services from you, (4) denial of access to future installment plans, (5) forfeit all fees paid to date, (6) $20.00 returned check fee and $25.00 late fee if applicable or (7) any reasonable cost related to collecting this debt.

 

 

B.

Non-Resident Tuition Installment Payment Plan:

 

 

 

1.

The Education Code allows a non-resident student to pay the required non-resident tuition fee on an installment basis; limited to three equal installment payments. A 15% handling fee will be assessed on the total non-resident amount.

 

 

 

2.

Non-resident students who wish to use the tuition installment plan must go to Student Financial Services Center in LSN-1001 with your Fee Statement form, to sign the appropriate agreement no later than five business days (excluding holidays) prior to your scheduled telephone date to register. At that time you will be required to pay registration fees. Non-resident students may utilize both the State University Fee and the Non-Resident Tuition Installment Payment Plans.

 

 

 

3.

A $10.00 late fee will be assessed for each late payment.

 

 

 

4.

Non-payment of fees may result in disenrollment or legal action taken against you. Students who are disenrolled for non-payment, forfeit all fees paid to date and will be denied access to future installment payment plans.

 

 

 

5.

Students who wish to make advance payments must go to Student Financial Services Center in LSN-1001.

 

 

C.

Students classified as non-residents who are authorized a waiver of the non-resident tuition fee, must go in person to the Residence Screening Office, Lassen Hall, and request that their Invitation to Register and Fee Statement form be approved by the Residence Screening Clerk for the waiver of non-resident tuition fee. This approval must be obtained and placed on the Fee Statement form before the registration fee payment can be accepted by the University.

 

 

D.

Non-Resident Tuition Cap. The total non-resident tuition fee charged a student in an academic year (Fall & Spring semesters only) shall not exceed $10,170 or 30 units.
