Tuition and Fees: Payment Deadlines

• If you add classes or are moved from a waitlist into classes and, as a result, owe additional fees, you are still responsible to pay by your due date. If you do not pay by your payment due date, you may be dropped from your classes unless you have a financial aid fee deferment in place.
• If you qualify for a full or partial financial aid fee deferment or have a third party sponsorship, you will only need to pay any remaining balance due by your due date.
• You are responsible for confirming your enrollment by making a payment by your assigned due date, even if you do not receive an invoice or reminder of a balance due. Make sure you check your account balance regularly at MyCSULB for payment due dates. You can also use MyCSULB to enroll in a payment plan, review financial aid award activity, pay fees, or verify payments have been received and processed.
• It is also your responsibility to drop classes by the published deadlines, regardless of the reason, in order to be eligible for a full or pro-rated refund. Failure to track your enrollment and student account records may result in charges and holds, restricting access to critical university services.
• If you had a Financial Aid fee deferment in place when you registered, and are later determined ineligible for aid, or you decline your aid, you are responsible for your fees.
• Students who do not plan to attend any classes should drop all classes before the first day of instruction. Once instruction begins, students who drop all their classes will owe pro-rated fees based on the date of withdrawal.

Regardless of who funds your education, you are personally responsible for making sure that your Tuition and Mandatory Fees and any other fees or charges are paid on time to CSULB. If you do not pay your balance, in addition to canceling your registration requests, the University can authorize the California Franchise Tax Board to deduct your debt from any future state income tax refunds due to you.

If your balance becomes delinquent, you may be placed with an outside collection agency. You will be responsible for any additional fees. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit reporting agency if you fail to resolve this matter immediately.
