PAYMENT OF FEES/PROMISE TO PAY

• I understand that I am responsible to pay my tuition and fees:
  • or make certain they are paid for by financial aid (grants, loans, or scholarships), or a third-party sponsor (i.e., military, employer, Dept. of Rehabilitation).
  • and if I expect other resources to pay my fees, I must maintain eligibility for those resources (financial aid may be reduced if units are dropped).
• I understand that I must drop my own classes if I am not attending,
  • and that I will be responsible for pro-rated fees for each day I remain enrolled once the term begins.
• I understand that if I am not attending, I must withdraw prior to the first day of the term,
  • if I do not want to be charged any pro-rated registration fees for the term.

I understand that when I am registered for any class at Sacramento State, or receive any service from Sacramento State, I accept full responsibility to pay all tuition, fees and other associated costs assessed as a result of my registration and/or receipt of services. I further understand and agree that my acceptance of these terms constitutes a promissory note agreement (i.e., a financial obligation in the form of an educational loan as defined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code at 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(8)) in which Sacramento State is providing me educational services, deferring some or all of my payment obligation for those services, and I promise to pay for all assessed tuition, fees and other associated costs by the due date.)

I understand and agree that if I drop or withdraw from some or all of the classes for which I am registered, or if I am dropped for non-payment or failing to comply with the Student Conduct Code, I will be responsible for paying all or a portion of tuition and fees in accordance with the policy on Dropping Units or Withdrawing from the Term, or for registration through the College of Continuing Education (CCE) Academic Credit Registration and Refund Policies. I understand the policies are incorporated herein by reference. I further understand that my failure to attend class does not absolve me of my financial responsibility as described above.

Third-Party (Sponsor) Payments: I understand and agree that if my third-party payer or sponsor voids their agreement to make payment on my behalf, I will accept full responsibility to pay all tuition, fees and other associated costs assessed as a result of my registration and/or receipt of services.

DELINQUENT ACCOUNT/COLLECTION

Financial Hold: I understand and agree that if I fail to pay my student account or any monies due and owing Sacramento State by the due date, Sacramento State will place a financial hold on my student account, preventing me from registering for future classes or receiving my diploma.

Late Payment Charge: I understand and agree that if I fail to pay my student account or any monies due and owing Sacramento State by the due date, Sacramento State will assess late payment charges.

Tax Refund Intercept: I understand and accept that if my debt becomes more than 90 days past due, Sacramento State may refer my debt to the Franchise Tax Board for intercept of any refund that I might otherwise receive (including Unclaimed Property and Lottery Winnings) to resolve or reduce my debt.

Agency: I understand and accept that if I fail to pay my student account or any monies due to Sacramento State by the due date, and fail to make acceptable payment arrangements to bring my account current, Sacramento State may refer my delinquent account to a collection agency. I further understand that if my account balance is referred to a third party for collection, my account may be reported to one or more credit bureaus.

If a lawsuit is filed to recover an outstanding balance, I shall also be responsible for any costs associated with the lawsuit such as court costs or other applicable costs.

COMMUNICATION

Method of Communication: I understand and agree that Sacramento State uses my csus.edu e-mail as an official method of communication with me, and that therefore I am responsible for reading the e-mails I receive from Sacramento State in a timely manner. I further understand that Sacramento State may also use my personal email and/or phone number to communicate with me about action needed on my account.

Contact: I authorize Sacramento State and its agents and contractors to contact me at my mobile phone number, email address or wireless device regarding my delinquent student account, loan(s), or any other debt I owe to Sacramento State, or to receive general information from Sacramento State. I authorize Sacramento State and its agents and contractors to use automated telephone dialing equipment, artificial or pre-recorded voice or text messages, and personal calls and emails, in their efforts to contact me. If I receive an automated call, I may subsequently withdraw my consent for such calls by submitting my request in writing to the Bursar’s Office.

Updating Contact Information: I understand and agree that I am responsible for keeping Sacramento State records up to date with my current physical address, email address, and phone numbers by making the updates in my Student Center. Upon leaving Sacramento State for any reason, it is my responsibility to provide Sacramento State with updated contact information for purposes of continued communication regarding any amounts that remain due and owing to Sacramento State.

FINANCIAL AID

I understand that aid described as “estimated”, “anticipated”, or "provisional" on my Financial Aid Award does not represent actual or guaranteed payment, but is an estimate of the aid I may receive if I meet all requirements stipulated by that aid program.

I understand that my Financial Aid Award is contingent upon my continued enrollment and attendance in each class upon which my financial aid eligibility was calculated. If I drop any class before completion, I understand that my financial aid eligibility may decrease and some or all of the financial aid awarded to me may be revoked. If some or all of my financial aid is revoked for any reason, I agree to repay all revoked aid and/or debt resulting from revoked aid (such as fees previously paid by aid).

I agree to allow the financial aid I receive to pay any and all charges assessed to my student account such as tuition, fees, campus housing and meal plans, student health charges, service fees, fines, bookstore charges, or any other amount, in accordance with the terms of the aid.

Scholarships, Grants, Waivers, and Third-Party Payments: I understand that all scholarships, grants, waivers, and third-party payments awarded to me will be credited to my student account and applied toward any outstanding balance. I further understand that my receipt of such is considered a financial resource according to federal Title IV financial aid regulations, and may therefore reduce my eligibility for other federal and/or state financial aid which, if already disbursed, must be reversed and returned to the aid source. I understand and accept that this may result in having to repay any portion of aid for which I am no longer eligible.

METHOD OF BILLING

I understand that I will not receive an invoice or statement, either by mail or email, and that I am responsible for viewing and paying my student account by the due date. I further understand that failure to review my account does not constitute a valid reason for not paying my bill on time. I understand that to view my account I will need to log in to my Student Center page and choose the Account Inquiry link.

BILLING ERRORS

I understand that administrative, clerical or technical billing errors do not absolve me of my financial responsibility to pay the correct amount of tuition, fees and other associated financial obligations assessed as a result of my registration at Sacramento State.

RETURNED or DISPUTED PAYMENTS

If a payment made to my student account is returned by my bank for any reason, or if I dispute a credit card payment for a legitimate charge, I agree to repay the original amount of the payment plus a returned payment fee. I understand that returned payments must be resolved with guaranteed funds or may result in cancellation of my classes and/or suspension of my eligibility to register for future classes at Sacramento State. In addition, if I have more than one returned payment, I may no longer be able to use the same payment method for future transactions..

FAILED PAYMENT AGREEMENTS

I understand and agree that failure to comply with the terms of any payment plan or agreement I have with Sacramento State may result in cancellation of my classes and/or suspension of my eligibility to register for future classes at Sacramento State. I further understand that by defaulting, I may be prohibited from using payment plans in subsequent terms.

WITHDRAWAL

If I decide to withdraw from the term (drop ALL courses), I will follow the instructions on the term Withdrawal Form located under Registration at Records & Registration Forms which I understand and agree are incorporated herein by reference.

PRIVACY RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES

I understand that Sacramento State is bound by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) which prohibits Sacramento State from releasing any information from my education record without my written permission. Therefore, I understand that if I want Sacramento State to share information from my education record with someone else, I must provide written permission by following the procedure outlined at What FERPA Is and FERPA forms. I further understand that I may revoke my permission at any time as instructed in the same procedure.

STUDENT AGE

I understand and agree that if I am younger than the applicable age of majority when I execute this agreement that the educational services provided by Sacramento State are a necessity, and I am contractually obligated pursuant to the “doctrine of necessaries.”
