Q: Where do I pay?

Q: What is the deadline for paying the fee?
A: The deadline for the fee payment is January 17, 2003. Please remember that the fee is mandated by the CSU, and therefore a hold will be placed on your records if the fee is not paid by that date. This means you will not be able to register for the Spring 2003 quarter or obtain transcripts until your account is cleared. Please also be aware that late fee policies remain the same.

Q: What if I receive financial aid?  Will this increase be covered?
A: If you are a financial aid recipient of a State University Grant (SUG), Cal Grant A or Cal Grant B (fee portion), the full amount of the increase will be covered. All other students will receive a statement for the balance due.

Q: Can I pay the difference for this fee increase with my Spring Quarter registration?
A: No.  Please be aware that if your payment is not received by January 17, 2003, a hold will be placed on your account.

Q: What if I have already paid for the Winter 2003 quarter?
A: If you have paid the previous fee total, you can still register for classes. You will soon receive a billing statement showing the small difference you still owe.  Please make sure you pay any additional fees by January 17, 2003.

Q: What if someone else is paying my fee?
A: It is your responsibility to notify this party of the increase.

Q: Who can help me with other questions?
