NOTICE OF FEE INCREASE: On June 18, 2010 the CSU Board of Trustees approved a 5% increase of the State University Fee for the 2010/2011 academic year. All students received a dolphin email from the CI President on June 23, outlining the reasoning for this increase. Additional information will be sent to all dolphin email account from the University Cash Services' office relating to fee payment deadlines.
While it is good news that the Board was was able to keep the State University fee increase to 5%, the Board also resolved because of the precarious budget situation to review at its meeting in November 2010 whether adequate funds have indeed been provided by the Legislature and the Governor in the 2001-11 Budget Act, and to determine whether any additional fee increases are required.
The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, CSU must reserve the right, even after the initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees, without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by the Board of Trustees.
