Fees and tuition are subject to change without advance notice by the Trustees of The California State University. Changes may occur after publication of fee payment materials. You will be liable for amounts that become due as a result of such change.

Registration Fees

You must pay fees before you can access the Web registration system. "My Registration," available at the SDSU WebPortal, contains registration and payment information. The registration process is not complete until you are officially enrolled in classes. Payment of fees alone does not constitute registration.


All Cashier Holds must be cleared prior to paying for registration. Payments to clear financial holds must be made by cash, debit cards, money order, or certified check. Inquire at University Cashiers for more information. Personal checks or charge cards will NOT be accepted.

Fees are subject to change. Call 619-594-7777 or go to the Student Financial Services Web site for the latest information on fees.

With the exception of doctoral students and students enrolling for 799A or 799B only, undergraduate foreign students must pay or sign an installment agreement for a minimum of 12 units (9 units, if graduate) at the time tuition is paid. Foreign students wishing to pay for fewer than 12 units (9 units, if graduate) must submit to the University Cashiers Office written approval to do so from the International Student Center or Graduate Division, as applicable.

Tuition may be paid using any of the methods outlined under Payment Options. To avoid additional service charges (see Installment Plan), tuition should be paid in full prior to the first day of classes. If you are subject to out-of-state tuition and do not pay in full prior to the start of classes, or submit an installment contract, service charges will be assessed, and late charges may apply.
