Congratulations on your offer of undergraduate admission to Cal State LA! Of the many thousands of applications that we received this year, we chose you to join our incoming class. This is a great accomplishment and an important opportunity.
The ECD is not required for current or continuing Cal State LA students, or for new graduate, certificate, or credential students in state-supported programs. Students admitted to a program through the College of Professional and Global Education (PaGE), should visit the PaGE Intent to Enroll Form for next steps and instructions on reserving their seat.
Veterans Benefits
U.S. Military Students: Veterans, servicemembers, and dependents using VA benefits under Chapter 31 (Veteran Readiness & Employment) or Chapter 33 (Post 9/11 G.I. Bill) may apply for an ECD waiver. In the waiver request, you must specify which chapter you will be using. Only these two programs qualify.
What if I miss the deadline?
If the Enrollment Confirmation Deposit (ECD) is not submitted by the deadline, your offer of admission will be withdrawn. If you still wish to enroll after the deadline, please submit an admission appeal for late ECD consideration.
What if I pay the deposit but don't enroll?
Students who submit the Enrollment Confirmation Deposit (ECD) but do not enroll for their admitted term must reapply for a future term and meet the admission requirements and deadlines in effect at that time.
The ECD is non-refundable and cannot be transferred to a future term.

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 fees are initially charged or initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees. All listed fees, other than mandatory systemwide fees, are subject to change 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, the Chancellor, or the Presidents, as appropriate. Changes in mandatory systemwide fees will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Working Families Student Fee Transparency and Accountability Act (Sections 66028 - 66028.6 of the Education Code).
