The "Open University" registration fee is $160 per semester unit. All fees are subject to change without notice, based on approval by the Trustees of the California State University and/or budgetary approval by the State Legislature and Governor. (The fees noted above are estimates for 2009 and will be updated if changes occur.) CAN I RECEIVE FINANCIAL AID FOR SUMMER? Financial Aid is available based on any remaining eligibility for the 2008/09 aid year. You must have a 2008/2009 FAFSA on file to determine the amount and type of aid for which you may be eligible and you must also file the Sacramento State Institutional Summer Financial Aid Application (available April 1, 2009). The timing of the aid disbursement is determined by the latest start date for the classes in which you are enrolled. For example, if you are registered for one course that starts on June 1 and another course that starts on July 13, you will not receive your aid disbursement until the first week of the course that starts on July 13. REGISTRATION WHEN WILL THE SUMMER SCHEDULE OF CLASSES BE AVAILABLE? The summer schedule will be available on the web about February 1, 2009. There will be no printed Schedule of Classes. WHEN CAN I REGISTER? Register online at My Sac State on the following dates: April 1 - April 7 - Registration Appointments by Academic Level. April 8 - May 8 - Open to all eligible students. May 11 - May 22 - Late Registration or Schedule Adjustment. June 1 - June 12 - Late Registration or Schedule Adjustment.

You should contact your home campus for information about the "Intrasystem Visitor" process and to initiate the application and financial aid process. If you are not a student at another CSU campus, you may take summer courses at Sacramento State on a space available basis through the "Open University" registration procedures. MAY I TAKE CLASSES IN SUMMER 2009 IF I'VE BEEN ADMITTED FOR FALL 2009? If you have been admitted for Fall 2009, you may be eligible to register for Summer 2009 as an "early start" student.
