• Be patient. The web response may be slow.
• Periodically review your class schedule for possible changes (cancelled/relocated class, time change, etc.)

Fee Information

All courses offered through Extended Education are entirely self-supporting. Fees for noncredit and CEU courses vary. SSU Extended Education fees are approved by the President under authority from the Board of Trustees of the California State University, and are subject to change. As appropriate, base unit fees are adjusted to accommodate additional course expenses.

If fees are not received by these dates, you may be dis-enrolled (dropped from your classes.) Students dis-enrolled for nonpayment of fees will not be reinstated. If you have a completed financial aid package in an amount sufficient to cover your fees, you do NOT have to pay fees by stated deadlines, and you will NOT be dis-enrolled. Your fees will be automatically deducted from your financial aid award. There are four options to pay fees:

1. Online: Log onto SSU's portal and navigate as follows: Self Service/Campus Finances/Make Payment
2. By phone, with a credit card (707-664-2394)
3. In person at Extended Education (Stevenson Hall Room 1012)
4. By mail to the address indicated below - please include your SSU ID number
