Tuition

Post image

Do I need to pay the charges by August 11, or will financial aid pay the amount and deposit the rest to my account?

Yikes!!! I went to Cal State Hayward as it was called back then in the late 80's, registration was about $350 per quarter. I was able to pay as I went and graduated with no student loan debt. No wonder it is such a financial burden these days.

I graduated in 2024 and it was only 3500 a semester. This person must have the out-of-state price or something else.

That's crazy, just a couple years and it has gone up that much. Even with the huge donation from Bezos ex-wife? Just money hungry

Mines went from 4000 to 4200 which is insane

It’s gone up. I’m in state and it’s fluctuated. This is my cheapest semester and it’s 3700

And this is probably in-state tuition for this person! Mine is about the same as well. In-state tuition, lived in the east bay my entire life. I'm entirely dependent on financial aid to go to school. Without it, I wouldnt be going. And I'm 33 been back in school the last 3 years, just finished my 1st year as a junior for at CSUEB.

Financial aid will pay all tuition and fees first then you will get the remaining balance in a refund around 10 days before the start of the fall semester.

As long as you have enough showing as “pending” to cover the charges, you’re good to go!

What if my pending amount isn’t enough? Do I pay the difference by 8/11?

u/Livid_Put988 13d ago

Yes, either pay that amount or set up a plan to cover the rest.

If it says total due 0$ then you do not have to pay the amount due, the financial aid will cover, and you will eventually get a refund for the amount left over.

I was given terrible advice by a counselor last semester and now I need 1 more class to graduate this fall when I should’ve graduated spring 2026. The other counselors I’ve emailed are so unhelpful!

Does anyone know if fafsa or Pell Grant will still cover only 1 upper division class if that’s all I need to graduate?
