    2010/2011 Fee Schedule

  **NOTICE OF FEE INCREASE: On June 18, 2010 the CSU Board of Trustees approved a 5% increase of the State University Fee for the 2010/2011 academic year. All students received a dolphin email from the  CI President on June 23, outlining the reasoning for this increase. Additional information will be sent to all dolphin email account from the University Cash Services' office relating to fee payment deadlines.

While it is good news that the Board was was able to keep the State University fee increase to 5%, the Board also resolved because of the precarious budget situation to review at its meeting in November 2010 whether adequate funds have indeed been provided by the Legislature and the Governor in the 2001-11 Budget Act, and to determine whether any additional fee increases are required.

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 the 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.

 Should a student or former student fail to pay a fee or a debt owed to California State University Channel Islands, the university may withhold permission to register; to use facilities for which a fee is authorized to be charged, (i.e. transcripts, grade check or grades) or to receive services until the debt is paid in full (see Title 5, California Code of Regulations, Section 42380 and 42381).

Prospective students who register for courses offered by the university are obligated for the payment of fees associated with registration for those courses. Failure to cancel registration in any course for an academic term prior to the first day of the academic term gives rise to an obligation to pay student fees including any tuition for the reservation of space in the course.

Failure to pay fees by the due date will result in disenrollement form classes.

Refunds

A student will be eligible for a full refund if fees are paid but no enrollment occurred or if all classes have been dropped prior to the first day of instruction for the term. Procedure for withdrawal is available in the Enrollment Center or in the Schedule of Classes.

*Note: Prospective students who register for courses offered by the University are obligated for the payment of fees associated with registration of those courses. Failure to cancel registration in any course for an academic term prior to the first day of the academic term gives rise to an obligation to pay student fees including any registration fees for the reservation of space in the course.

All refunds for mandatory fees are now automatic. Refund checks will be mailed to the address on file with Admissions and Records. Please make sure your address is correct. Refunds will be processed according to the original form of payment used.  For example, payments made by credit card will be credited back to the original card.

Special Circumstances Refunds

BACKGROUND

Refund regulations for the California State Universities are defined within the California Code of Regulations, Title V, Section 41802 and 41913.  The deadlines that correspond with these regulations are published in the Schedule of Classes each semester.  It is the student’s responsibility to be familiar with the deadlines and other information made available through the Schedule of Classes and other publications.

Registration and/or tuition and mandatory fees may be refunded if the student or authorized representative petitions the University for a refund demonstrating exceptional special circumstances.  The student or authorized representative must submit documentation supporting serious and compelling reasons beyond the student’s control.  The Chief Financial Officer of the University or designee must make a determination that the tuition and mandatory fees were not earned by the University.

The California Code of Regulations allows the reversal of registration fees and/or tuition after the established deadlines if one of the following conditions exists:

1)     Death of Student

2)     Compulsory Military Service

3)     Fees Collected in Error
