Payment Plan
All residents have the option to create a Payment Plan if they're unable to pay in full by the payment deadline. See the steps below on how to fill this out.
- Log into the Housing Portal using the SSO login. Do NOT try to log in using your Cal State LA username and password.
- Select “Forms”.
- Select “Payment Plan” file.
- Log into your GET account to see your charges.
- Go back to the form and follow the steps to complete, beginning with your name and CIN.
- Fill out tuition, Housing, Financial Aid, and what you’ve already paid to help calculate your payment. Please do not include your Housing application fee.
- Monthly payments must be divided equally.
- There is a comment section where students are welcome to give us any important information we need to know related to the payments and payment plan.
- All payment plans for fall 2024 need to be paid in full by November 15, 2024. Visit our Important Dates & Deadlines page for all deadlines.
Once you’ve submitted your form, please give a week or two for our team to process your form. If all calculations are correct, it will be approved. If not, we’ll reach out to you to assist in making appropriate adjustments.
In the meantime, do NOT wait until it’s approved to start making your payments. The first payment of your payment plan is due upon completion of the Payment Plan form.
After the plan has been approved, please refer to the payment schedule you’ve created to make those monthly payments. The Terms & Conditions include making payments on time, and every time a payment is late, students are charged a $20 late fee. So, please be mindful of your schedule as we will not be sending out payment reminders.
