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.
