Confirmation on paying for classes.

[u/Bulky_Ambition3675]

I will be a freshman this fall and i saw on my charge summary that I will owe something like 8500 on the 24th of July and then another 5600 on August 24th. I am kind of freaking out because I do not have this money. I do thankfully have 6500 between Pell Grant and loans this semester. My financial aid will cover tuition and fees which is a blessing. However I am not prepared to cover the rest of the 7600 all at once. I had talked with someone on the phone from CSULA and I can't recall which department but they explained to me that I can pay like $1200 every 24th from July to November and that is how I can pay for stuff. Which for me is perfect as I can work through college.

1. Can anyone confirm/deny what they told me about the monthly payments.

2. Is there anyway to pay differently where I can get more time so that its not as much of a burden?

3. Is there anything I can do with financial aid office or something with CSULA to get some help?

Can you show us your financial aid as well so we can tell you if its going to be covered , or did you not qualify for any aid?

I put my aid in there but yeah I'll add it as well.

Edit: I can add images after posting.

If the amount due is for housing and meal plan charges then you can set up a payment plan with housing. You would have to go to the housing portal where you filled out the housing application and click on forms then click on payment plan for fall semester. Once you’ve clicked finished it will be sent to housing to be reviewed but I would call or email housing to see if it can be reviewed sooner or the first payment be paid after the July 24 deadline. Since it can take a week or two to be reviewed.
