Refunds and Billing

Student Billing

After you enroll in your classes, One Stop Student Financial Services posts all charges to your GET account. This includes all term-based charges (ex: tuition, fees, etc). If applicable, your student housing, lab fees, and other miscellaneous fees will also post to GET.

One Stop Student Financial Services will send reminders throughout the year to help you manage your student bill. The reminders outline important dates and deadlines.  If you applied for Financial Aid and have not received your Financial Aid Award Letter, we highly recommend that you contact One Stop Student Financial Services and enroll in a payment plan. 

Student billing is overseen by One Stop Student Financial Services.

Financial Aid Disbursement

Disbursements occur weekly throughout the semester, excluding University and U.S. Holidays. Disbursement dates are set in accordance with federal regulations and Cal State LA policies.  Cal State LA does not require students to open an account with any financial institution; however, students are strongly encouraged to enroll in Direct Deposit using a valid U.S. checking account.  

Financial Aid "disbursements" are managed by Financial aid and Scholarships.  This process involves crediting all student aid, including loans to student accounts in GET.  Disbursement dates are available on Disbursement Calendar section of the FA Website. 

Financial Aid Refunds

Financial Aid "refunds" are managed by One Stop Financial Services and are issued only after all outstanding charges have been paid. The refund method depends on the option selected by the student. Exceptions are made for Federal Parent PLUS Loans.
