Registration & tuition fees for fall term 2009

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

    Arcata, CA  95521-8279

    Make your check or money order payable to Humboldt State University (HSU). Include the following information on your check or money order:

    • Print your full name
    • HSU ID number
    • Description of what you are paying

    Do not mail cash

  • by Electronic Check (E-Check)

    Payments for registration, tuition, on-campus housing charges, and short term loans may also be made via electronic check. This service can be accessed through the following link, Electronic Check Payments. There is no fee for using this service.

  • by Credit Card

    Payments are accepted for registration, tuition, on-campus housing charges, and short term loans by MasterCard, American Express, or Discover through Student Center. A convenience fee of 2.9% of the transaction amount will be charged for this service.

  • in Person

    You may also pay in person by check, debit card, or cash at Student Financial Services during normal business hours.

Note that students whose registration fees are paid by financial aid are responsible for paying the difference by the deadlines if the aid award does not cover all charges. For more information about the application of financial aid awards to charges, refer to Financial Aid Checks within these pages.

Installment Payment Plans

For fall and spring terms, the university offers two installment payment plans: one for registration fees, the other for nonresident tuition. Due to the shorter duration of the summer term, there will be no installment payment plans offered for summer.

To take advantage of either installment plan, students must contact Student Financial Services to obtain and execute an agreement. Agreements must be executed prior to the fee payment deadline. The terms of either agreement are superseded by disbursement of any financial aid.

  • State University Fee Installment Payment Plan

    This plan is offered to all students who pay the State University Fee. For a service charge of $33.00, payment of one-half of the State University Fee portion of the registration fees is deferred until the fourteenth calendar day of instruction. Most students who take advantage of this plan are those continuing students who early register before the end of the previous term.

  • Nonresident Tuition Payment Plan

    The full amount of nonresident tuition for a term can be deferred into three equal payments, 30, 60, and 90 days into the term. A service charge of 9% per payment is added to the tuition amount of each payment. Adjustments to the remaining payments for adding or dropping units are made at the beginning of each deferment period.

As with any fee payment deadline, failure to pay as agreed subjects the student to a late payment fee, a hold placed on the student account, and collection action. Collection action includes collection agency referral and/or small claims court, where the student will be responsible for all applicable collection and/or court costs.

Deadlines

Deadlines for payment of registration & tuition fees are as follows:

Fall Term 2009

Refunds

A student who withdraws from the university, or drops to a lower fee category (schedule adjustments), may be eligible for a refund of institutional charges, i.e., registration fees and nonresident tuition.

NOTE: It is the student's responsibility to properly withdraw from the university if they do not plan to attend. Non attendance does not relieve students of any debt incurred due to registration activity. Students that withdraw from the university will owe the $27 administrative fee, and may also owe any non refundable fees already assessed to their account plus registration and tuition fees, which are calculated based on their withdrawal date.

The following are the deadlines for fall term 2009:

  • Schedule Adjustments

    Students who change their unit load to a lower fee category, e.g., nonresident students who drop units or resident students who drop from full time to part time, must do so on or before September 21, 2009 in order to receive a refund, less a $27 administrative charge. No refunds will be given for units dropped after this date. Note: units added after this date are charged at regular rates.

  • Withdraw from the University

    To receive a full refund of fees, less a $27 administrative charge, students must withdraw from all classes by August 23, 2009.

    Students who withdraw from the university or drop all registered units on or after the first day of instruction and before the 60% point in the semester, October 26, 2009, will receive an automatic refund of a portion of the fees, less a $27 administrative charge. The refund will be prorated based on the number of calendar days that the student was enrolled and the total number of days in the semester. This refund will be automatically calculated and the refund mailed to the student's current mailing address.

The following are the deadlines for Spring term 2010:

  • Schedule Adjustments

    Students who change their unit load to a lower fee category, e.g., nonresident students who drop units or resident students who drop from full time to part time, must do so on or before February 15, 2010 in order to receive a refund, less a $27 administrative charge. No refunds will be given for units dropped after this date. Note: units added after this date are charged at regular rates.

  • Withdraw from the University

    To receive a full refund of fees, less a $27 administrative charge, students must withdraw from all classes by January 18, 2010.

    Students who withdraw from the university or drop all registered units on or after the first day of instruction and before the 60% point in the semester, April 1, 2010, will receive an automatic refund of a portion of the fees, less a $27 administrative charge. The refund will be prorated based on the number of calendar days that the student was enrolled and the total number of days in the semester.

Financial aid recipients should contact Student Financial Services regarding fee refunds. Generally, fees paid by financial aid are refunded to the financial aid program.
