SPRING 2012 - Refund POLICY & DEADLINE DATES
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 initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees, 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.
Refund Policy for Tuition and Other Fees
(All refunds will be subject to a $5.00 administrative fee)
Important: It is the student's responsibility
to drop courses, regardless of the reason, by the enrollment period deadlines to
avoid charges or be eligible for a full or prorated refund. Failure to do so may
result in charges and holds preventing university services. Students who do not
plan to attend, should drop all courses before the first day of instruction to
avoid enrollment charges.
