How to pay
Housing fees are billed to student accounts by the semester. Housing fees are due in full prior to the start of the License Agreement term or official move-in date, whichever is earliest.
Spring payment deadlines can be found here.
Please note:
- Any payment received after the payment deadline will be considered late and subject to a $20 late fee for each month past due.
- Financial aid recipients with delayed disbursements will be held responsible for late fees unless the delay was a processing error by the Financial Aid office, verified by the Director of Financial Aid.
- Payments for housing fees are made directly through CASHNet Smartpay. The Housing Office is not able to collect or process payments.
Can I pay my Cal State LA Housing fees with Financial Aid?
Yes, but it depends.
Financial Aid can be applied to your housing fees and may include grants, scholarships, Federal Student Loans, Perkins Loans, and Parent PLUS Loans, along with any outside scholarships. Be sure to calculate all your expenses—tuition, fees, books, and housing—when deciding which financial aid to accept. To have the aid disbursed, you must accept it online and be enrolled full-time. Aid will only be released to your account once accepted and cleared. Note that housing fees are covered after other fees are paid. The order of disbursement is as follows:
- Tuition
- Mandatory Campus Fees
- Room Rent
- Meal Plan
- Housing Fees (Program Fee & Damage Deposits)

If Financial Aid does not cover the total balance due for the semester, the student will be responsible for paying the remaining balance by the stated deadline.
When will I receive my Financial Aid?
Scheduled Disbursement
Housing fees are paid only after tuition and mandatory fees. Financial aid will first cover tuition and fees, with any remaining funds applied to other charges, such as housing room and board fees.
What types of Financial Aid is available to me?
First-Time Borrowers
Students accepting Federal Perkins Loans or Federal Direct Loans (subsidized or unsubsidized) must complete their "To Do List," including the Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Loan Counseling. Visit your MyCalStateLA portal to ensure loan disbursement. For Parent PLUS Loan questions, contact the Center for Student Financial Aid and Scholarships.
Non-University Scholarships
Students with off-campus scholarships must notify the Center for Student Financial Aid and Scholarships, even if the award is sent directly to them. For details on submitting scholarship information and mailing addresses, visit the Off-Campus Scholarship webpage.
