Future CSU Tuition

The cost of attending a CSU campus can vary from year to year. All students pay the basic systemwide tuition based on student level: undergraduate, credential, graduate or doctoral. In addition, nonresident students pay a per-unit fee, and students enrolled in some graduate business programs have a per-unit fee. These base costs do not include campus mandatory fees or other expenses like housing.

2026-27 through 2028-29 Tuition​

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).
