Electronic Check (ACH)
You may pay your registration fees, out-of-state or foreign tuition, and other charges using the ACH payment option. This is just like writing a check, but you will make the payment online. There is no additional charge for this option.
Credit Card
Students are able to use MasterCard, American Express, and Discover
Card to pay their registration fees and out-of-state tuition using
CashNet™
SmartPay, our secure third party vendor. The University Cashiers Office
does not accept credit cards for payment of registration fees or
tuition (foreign or out-of-state), except as applicable under the terms
of the Installment Plan.
- Use CashNet™ SmartPay via the Web from your student account and follow the easy step-by-step instructions. After you log into your student account, select the "payment by credit card" link. This will take you to the CASHNet Smartpay web site.
Payments made via CashNet™ SmartPay are received by the University Cashiers Office no later than the next business day, so the registration process is not delayed. CashNet™ SmartPay assesses each customer a service charge based on the transaction amount. See the Web site for more details.
MasterCard, VISA, American Express and Discover Card charge cards are accepted for other payments, such as Housing, Parking, Health Service, Continuing Education, and miscellaneous over-the-counter payments. Students are reminded that banks will provide cash advances against credit cards if needed to cover registration payments. Most ATM cards are also accepted for payment of miscellaneous charges.
Check
Fees may be paid in full by personal check, money order, or certified funds. Checks should be made payable to SDSU. In order to have fees processed on time, print the fee payment coupon found in the SDSU WebPortal and submit it (via mail or Cashiers drop box) with your payment prior to your registration fee payment deadline. It is recommended that your payment be sent as soon as possible to avoid any delay in registration.
Check your "My Registration Info" for your due date.
Checks are accepted for the exact amount of the payment. Overpayments of $5.00 or less are refunded only upon request. If your check for registration fees or tuition is returned by the bank to the University Collections Office for any reason, your registration may be cancelled and you will be billed a $35.00 dishonored payment charge and a $20 late fee.
The university reserves the right to refuse payments by personal check from those individuals who have previously had items returned unpaid by their bank. Refunds may be applied against other amounts due the university.
Financial Aid Deferment
The "My Registration Info" online service will tell you if you are eligible to defer (postpone) payment of your registration fee (and tuition, if applicable). Deferment of your registration fee will not be automatic - you must first complete online Summer Counseling, accessed via AidLink at www.sdsu.edu/financialaid. Once in AidLink, select the Summer 2007 tab and follow the instructions.
DO NOT WAIT until your registration access date to complete your online Summer Counseling. Once completed, it will take up to 48 hours for the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships to electronically notify the Office of the Registrar and the University Cashiers Office of your deferment eligibility.
Your registration fee (and tuition, if applicable) will be deducted from the first disbursement of your financial aid available for the summer session. If you do not qualify for enough financial aid, or if your financial aid award is reduced or becomes unavailable FOR ANY REASON, you must pay your fees IN FULL by August 10, 2007. Online Summer Counseling and financial aid fee deferment information is available at the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships Web site.
Installment Plan
The Installment Payment Plan is not available for Summer Session.
Third Party Billing/Approved Fee Waivers
If an outside agency (agency, government program, Employee Fee Waiver, etc.) is paying all or part of your registration fee, you will need to print your fee payment coupon from "My Registration Info" and return it and a copy of your authorization letter to the University Cashiers Office. Failure to do so will result in your fees being deducted from your financial aid award. Students submitting authorization to bill a third party for their fees will be held responsible for the payment if the third party agency fails to pay the fees within the semester of attendance.
CSU Fee Waivers
Vocational Rehabilitation (Chapter 31) and Eligible Dependents
of Deceased or Disabled Veterans
Veterans receiving vocational rehabilitation benefits (Chapter 31), and
eligible dependents receiving the Cal Vet Fee Waiver, must obtain their
fee waiver authorization at the Veterans
Office in the Office of the Registrar (SS-1641) and submit it to the

to their fee payment deadline.
