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 or by mail. Please do not mail cash or money orders. Your cancelled check or credit card statement can be used as your receipt. Payment receipts are emailed upon request.

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.

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.

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.

The Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011 was signed into law on August 2, 2011. The U.S. Department of Education issued a Dear Colleague letter [Gen-11-16] to All Post Secondary Institutions regarding the changes commencing July 1, 2012. This Act makes two changes to the Federal Direct Stafford Loan Program.

First:
Graduate and professional students are no longer eligible to receive Federal Direct Subsidized Loans for all loans processed on or after July 1, 2012. All previously disbursed loans prior to July 1, 2012 are not affected by this change.

Second:
All discount fee rebates for both undergraduate and graduate level students will be terminated. This provision, in effect terminates DL Borrower Repayment Incentives:

Termination of Repayment incentives to DL borrowers to encourage on-time repayment of loans including:

• Any reduction in the interest rate, or;
• Origination fees
• Up-front interest rebate

Also affected by the changes are Direct Parent PLUS/Grad PLUS Programs.

The law continues to authorize the incentive offer of a reduction to the interest rate for DL borrowers who opt to have electronic payments automatically debited from a bank account.
