Fee Collection

You are expected to pay all fees prior to the first day of class and by the established deadlines. Payments may be made by cash, check, money order, or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover) at the Campus Service Center. Payments made by check will be accepted by mail (please do not mail cash or money orders); your cancelled check will be your receipt. If paying by credit card, you may fax your authorization. Please call for instructions. Continuing CSUMB students can make their payments online.

Nonpayment of registration fees may result in cancellation of your registration. Fees assessed at the time of registration are subject to audit and correction at a later date. Any additional fees owed will be billed and overpaid fees refunded to the student.

Other Fee Refunds

Campus fees and health clinic fees are non-refundable unless the class is canceled or you complete the drop process prior to the first day of class.

Refund Process

Refunds are not automatic. You must submit an application for a refund of fees when dropping a class. All refunds are subject to a $10 processing fee. Refunds are also subject to application to other financial obligations owed the university. Refunds take a minimum of two weeks to process and will be mailed .

To apply for a refund of fees:

Obtain a Refund form and an Add/Drop form from the Campus Service Center in Building 47. You may download the Add/Drop forms from this Web site.

Complete both forms and obtain the signature of the instructor on the Add/Drop form. (NOTE: Instructor's signature is not needed if the course is dropped prior to the first day of instruction or if the class is canceled.)

Return both forms to the Campus Service Center by the appropriate deadline.

Verify your current mailing address listed in the Banner student information system. If you don't have access to Banner, please call the Campus Service Center (831-582-5100) or visit Building 47.

Debts Owed to CSUMB

Should a student or former student fail to pay a debt owed to CSUMB, the university may "withhold permission to register, to use facilities for which a fee is authorized to be charged, to receive services, materials, food, or merchandise, or any combination of the above from any person owing a debt" until the debt is paid (see Title 5, California Code of Regulations, Sections 42380 and 42381). For example, CSUMB may withhold permission to receive official transcripts of grades from any person owing a debt.

If students believe that they do not owe all or part of an unpaid obligation, they should contact the Campus Service Center . The Campus Service Center, or another office on campus to which students may be referred by the Campus Service Center, will review the pertinent information, including information students may wish to present, and will advise each student of its conclusions with respect to the debt.

If a financial hold is placed on a student's record for nonpayment of a debt, the hold must be cleared prior to registration. Payments to clear financial holds must be made by cash, money order, cashier's check, or credit card. Personal checks will not be accepted.

Returned Checks (paper and electronic)

Students paying by personal check (paper or electronic) for any university-related fees or services will be assessed a $25 returned check fee for the first check not honored by the bank for any reason. This includes incorrectly entering your account and routing numbers on eCheck. The amount of the original check plus the $25 fee becomes a financial obligation of the student to CSUMB. A $20 late administrative fee may also apply. A second returned check (paper or electronic) will be assessed a $35 returned check fee. Following the return of a second check, CSUMB reserves the right to refuse personal checks (paper or electronic) for any future payments. CSUMB has no control over whether a bank sends checks through a second time for clearing.

All personal checks (paper or electronic) returned unpaid must be replaced immediately by a cashier's check, money order, online credit card payment, or cash. A hold will be placed on all academic records until payment is received.

Individuals paying registration fees by personal check (paper or electronic) are hereby given notice that if the bank for any reason does not honor a check, their registration is subject to cancellation. Once canceled, students will not be reinstated.
