Registration Fees

Schedule of Tuition Fees

Mandatory tuition fee pays the cost of student services such as counseling, testing, student activities, health services and student financial aid administration. In addition, these fees cover some supplies and service costs of instruction and instructional resources.

The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Tuition and fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, CSU reserves the right, even after tuition or fees are initially charged or initial payments are made, to increase or modify any listed tuition fees. All listed fees, other than mandatory systemwide tuition, are subject to change without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed tuition and 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 tuition 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).

The following reflects applicable systemwide tuition and fees for semester campuses that were authorized by the Board of Trustees at the March 2017 meeting. These rates are subject to change.

Fees and dates subject to change without notice

Billing

SJSU does not issue bills. To see the amount of fees owed in MySJSU (one.sjsu.edu), after you register for classes, go to: Student Center> Scroll down to Finances> Account Inquiry (link) > Charges Due (tab). Due dates are posted within 24 hours after class registration. It is the student’s responsibility to make payments by the stated deadline - failure to pay fees by the due date or making a partial payment will result in all classes being dropped. Note: SJSU does not automatically drop classes after census. If you are on a waitlist, please check your account daily since enrollment in waitlisted classes may result in additional fees owed.

Changing your unit load from 6.0 units to 6.1 or more, will result in additional fees being charged. Check your MySJSU account for your payment due date.

Fees for Non-Residents/International Students

Non-Residents of California and international students must pay all tuition listed above, plus mandatory non-resident fee of $396.00 per unit multiplied by the number of units for which the student is registered. Adding classes will increase the balance on the student account for non-resident students, so check your account after adding classes.

Graduate Business Professional Tuition Fee

For students pursuing the MBA or MS Accountancy degrees, the Graduate Business Professional Fee is charged on a $270.00 per unit basis in addition to basic tuition and campus fees.

Parking Fees

A variety of parking permits of varying pricing and duration are available for sale through Parking Online Services {http://www.sjsu.edu/parking}. For more information, please visit Parking Services http://www.sjsu.edu/parking, e-mail parking@sjsu.edu, or call 408-924-6556.

Nonresident Tuition Exemptions (AB 540)

If you attended high school in California for at least three full years and graduated or earned an equivalent, you may be eligible for resident tuition. Students must file an affidavit with SJSU stating that they have filed an application with INS to legalize their immigration status or will do so as soon as they are eligible. You will need to show proof of attendance and graduation.

On October 11, 2001, Governor Gray Davis signed Assembly Bill 540 (now Education Code Section 68130.5) creating a new exemption from nonresident tuition for any student who meets ALL of the following criteria:

1. attended high school in California for 3 or more years;
2. graduated from a California high school or attained the equivalent;
3. is registered at, or attending an accredited institution of higher education in California not earlier than Fall 2001; and
4. if a student without lawful immigration status files an affidavit with the campus stating that he or she has applied to legalize immigration status (using INS form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative) or will do so as soon as he or she is eligible.

See www.sjsu.edu/bursar/students_parents/faqs/exemption_faqs/index.html {https://www.sjsu.edu/registrar/registration/residency/ab540.php} for additional information.

Registration Late Fees

Those exempt from the late fee(s) prior to enrollment census date are:

• Students enrolled in the Step to College program
• Graduate students who cannot enroll in lower division classes during Advance Registration.

Late Registration Participants

If you add classes during the Late Registration period which change your unit load from 6.0 units to 6.1 or less, additional tuition fees will be due. Review your account via MySJSU (one.sjsu.edu) to find the amount due and the payment deadline. Billing statements are not issued.

Registration - Deferrals and Waivers

In order to receive a tuition fee deferral, your financial aid file must be complete and all requested documents submitted. Check your “To Do” list at MySJSU for requested documents. Once you have submitted all requested documents, a fee deferral will be assigned to your record to hold your classes and delay the payment of registration tuition fees while your financial aid process is completed. To prevent enrollment cancellation, it is your responsibility to submit all requested documents prior to the scheduled tuition fee payment deadline. Be sure to monitor your account at MySJSU for file status changes and “To Do” items.

Important! Financial Aid fee deferrals are temporary and are issued once all requested financial aid documents are submitted. A financial aid fee deferral holds classes and delays the payment of enrollment fees while the financial aid process is completed. To prevent enrollment cancellation, it is the student’s responsibility to submit all requested financial aid documents prior to the scheduled fee payment deadline. The financial aid fee deferral does not cover housing charges.

If your tuition fees are to be paid by a third party (i.e. employer, government agency, college savings plan, or foreign embassy), documents must be on file before your payment deadline authorizing the university to bill the agency for your fees. Authorization may be given in person, mailed or faxed to the Bursar’s Office at 408-924-1654. If documentation is not received by your payment due date, classes may be dropped.

When financial aid or the amount to be paid by the a third party is less than the amount due, you must pay the difference owed.

Federal regulations prevent the university from deducting parking permit charges from financial aid. Financial aid recipients must pay for parking permits separately.

• Payments divided equally

Loan, Short Term

Short Term loans are available through the Bursar’s Office to assist students with expenses over and above tuition, fees and housing. Short term loans are not intended for paying your student account, as they are funds that you borrow against your account, to be paid back during the semester.

To be eligible, you must:

• Be current on any outstanding debts to the university
• Must have sufficient financial aid or be gainfully employed
• Must be enrolled in at least half-time (six undergraduate or four graduate units).

Selective Service-Eligibility for Aid

The federal Military Selective Service Act (the “Act”) requires most males residing in the United States to present themselves for registration with the Selective Service System within thirty days of their eighteenth birthday. Most males between the ages of 18 and 25 must be registered. Males born after December 31, 1959 may be required to submit a statement of compliance with the Act and regulations in order to receive any grant, loan or work assistance under specified provisions of existing federal law. In California, students subject to the Act who fail to register are also ineligible to receive any need-based student grants funded by the state or a public postsecondary institution.

Selective Service registration forms are available at any U.S. Post Office, and many high schools have a staff member or teacher appointed as a Selective Service registrar. Applicants for financial aid can also request that information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) be used to register them with the Selective Service. Information on the Selective Service System is available and the registration process may be initiated online at https://www.sss.gov/Influencers/Students-and-FInancial-Aid-Officers.
