Please note that all fees are subject to change.
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.
