Fee Rates

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.

Systemwide Fee Rates

The CSU Board of Trustees approved the following fee rates (.xlsx), effective fall 2012, at their November 16, 2011 meeting.

Systemwide Fee Rates are set by the Board of Trustees and are charged at the same rate per academic year at each CSU campus.
