Fees & Financial Aid
Course Fees
Fees are $1,000.00 per unit. Payment is due at the time of registration.
Federal Loans
Federal Unsubsidized Stafford and Graduate PLUS loans may be available to eligible students. Information on eligibility and how to apply can be found on the Chico State Financial Aid & Scholarship Office website.
Your aid must be accepted in your student account or you will be dropped and required to pay to re-enroll. To stay eligible for financial aid, you must be enrolled in at least four units per semester. Dropping below four units may require you to repay some or all of your aid.
Third Party/Sponsored Fees
If an external agency will be paying fees for you, an authorization to bill, letter of sponsorship, or purchase order is required each term. It is your responsibility to make sure that one is on file with the University. The authorization must include your full name, the term, courses to be paid for, and the total amount. Mail to:
