Fees & Financial Aid

Course Fees

To pay fees and register, submit an online request from our web links above. Payment is due at the time of registration. Fees are $525.00 per unit.

Financial Aid

Information on eligibility and how to apply can be found on the CSU, Chico Financial Aid & Scholarship Office website.

If you receive Financial aid/loans and will pay your fees from your disbursement, submit your registration request online without payment indicating in the order comments field that you’ll be using your Financial Aid to pay fees. Your student account must show that you’ve accepted aid by the first day of class or you will be dropped from your courses and required to pay fees in order to be re-enrolled. Be sure to check your “To Do Lists” in your student center.

In order to establish eligibility, students are required to be enrolled in at least four units per semester. Therefore, you need to register in all the courses you need to take in an upcoming term (i.e., fall courses or spring courses) at the same time. Please note that if you drop below 6 units of enrollment during the semester, you may be required to repay some or all that you received.

The authorization must include your full name, the term, courses paying for, and the total amount.
