*The California State University (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 has begun. All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by the Board of Trustees.

Non-resident Students
Non-residents and foreign visa students are required to pay non-resident tuition fees in addition to fees charged to all students.
Non-Resident Tuition did not increase in 2010/11 nor 2011/12, however at the June, 2010 meeting, the CSU BOT eliminated the maximum academic year total number of units for which this fee applies. All units taken by nonresident students are now charged the nonresident tuition rate.
Tuition for Non-Resident Students in addition to registration fees:
Per Unit $372
Non-resident students are eligible for an installment payment plan. There is a 15% service fee on the plan. Contact the Seawolf Services Office for details prior to Sept. 7, 2011, or pay fees in full by that date.
** Health Insurance typically increases annually so this estimate is probably a little low.‡For MBA only - $278 per unit professional fee (additional $4448 per year)
Please note that international travel and extraordinary personal expenses are not included in the cost estimates above. Family Members Students who will be accompanied by a spouse and/or children will need to submit additional documentation of financial support ($3700 for spouse and $2900 for each child.)
(If you will be a graduate student in either the CES, PSYCHOLOGY, ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, SPANISH or EMBA Program you will pay through our Extended Education Division and the tuition/fee structure is different. Housing, food, personal expense and health insurance estimates remain the same.)
