FEE PAYMENT PROCEDURES FOR LATE REGISTRATION PERIOD
Late registration via My Coyote Self-Service will start on March 17, 2008. To register during this period, registration fees (including a $25 Late Registration Fee) MUST BE PREPAID. The late registration fee is charged based on the date you register for classes, not when you pay your fees. Prepayments can be made prior to March 17, 2008. Payments by credit card can be made through the My Coyote Self Service Portal at “SB Make Payments”. Students will be assessed a service charge for the convenience of using credit cards for payment. Electronic check payments can be made through the My Coyote Self Service Portal at “SB Make Payments” with no fee to the user. Credit card payments are not accepted at the Bursar’s Office.
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO ALL REGISTRATION FEES
Please make checks payable to “California State University, San Bernardino” for the total amount due the University. To ensure credit to the correct account, checks must include the Coyote ID number of the student. The Bursar’s Office accepts cash, check, ATM, money orders and cashiers checks. Fees may be paid with MasterCard, Discover or American Express through the My Coyote Self Service Portal at “SB Make Payments.
Please note: Parking permits will be available for purchase through Parking Services via the My Coyote Portal. Parking permits will be mailed to students on a weekly basis. If you have not received your permit by the first day of classes contact Parking Services at 909-537-5912.
The Bursar’s Office will accept payments between the following hours:
Sierra Hall: Monday through Friday from 1:00 to 5:00
University Hall: Monday through Thursday from 8:00 to 6:00 and Friday from 8:00 to 5:00
University Hall Extended Hours Monday through Thursday, April 1 - 10, 2008 from 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Drop Box Payments
Students depositing their payment at one of the drop boxes on campus (located in the Sierra Hall lobby or the turn-around at the end of University Parkway) will receive credit within two business days.
Payment by Mail
Payment must be received by the Bursar’s Office before the designated due date to prevent an administrative drop of your courses. The university will not be responsible for cash payments sent by mail or deposited at drop boxes. Postmarks will be disregarded.
Registration fees paid by check or credit card are not considered valid until the bank has cleared the payment. Checks and credit cards not cleared by the bank, including “stop payment” checks, may cancel your registration. It is each student’s responsibility to formally withdraw from classes prior to the refund deadline dates. Failure to withdraw will result in a “balance due” on your account and prevent you from registering in future quarters.
DISHONORED CHECKS AND CREDIT CARDS
A $25 service fee will be charged for a first offense dishonored check/credit card; all subsequent dishonored checks/credit cards will result in a $35 service fee per offense. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure adequate funds are available to cover checks written to the university and it is the bank’s responsibility to notify students of their NSF checks. Therefore, without written notification to the student, the university will automatically apply dishonored check and late registration fees to the student’s account.

CREDIT/REFUND OF FEES INCLUDING NONRESIDENT TUITION
Regulations governing the refund of mandatory fees, including nonresident tuition, for students enrolling at the California State University are included in 41802 of Title 5, California Code of Regulations. For purposes of the refund policy, mandatory fees are defined as those system wide fees and campus fees that are required to be paid in order to enroll in state-supported academic programs at the California State University. Refunds of fees and tuition charges for self-support programs at the California State University (courses offered through extended education) are governed by a separate policy established by the University.
In order to receive a full refund of mandatory fees, including nonresident tuition, a student must cancel registration or drop all courses prior to the first day of classes, which is March 29, 2008. Information on procedures and deadlines for canceling registration and dropping classes is available in the Schedule of Classes. Note: Application Fees, Late Registration Fees, and Coyote One Card Fee and Administrative Fees are not refundable.
For state-supported semesters, quarters and non-standard terms of course of four (4) weeks or more, a student who withdraws during the term in accordance with the university’s established procedures will receive a refund of mandatory fees, including nonresident tuition, based on the portion of the term during which the student was enrolled. No student withdrawing after the 60 percent point in the term will be entitled to a refund of any mandatory fees or nonresident tuition.
For state-supported semesters, quarters and non-standard terms of course of less than four (4) weeks, no refunds or mandatory fees and nonresident tuition will be made unless a student cancels registration or drops all classes prior to the first day in accordance with the university’s established procedures and deadlines.
It is each student’s responsibility to formally withdraw from classes and meet the conditions described above to receive a refund. The refund will be automatically mailed. Important notice: Please make sure that the University has your correct mailing address. Refunds are typically processed within 10 business days. Registration fees paid by check or credit card are not considered valid until the bank has cleared the payment. Refunds for payments made by check require a copy of the student’s canceled check; otherwise, it may take up to five weeks before Accounting receives confirmation from the State that the student’s check has cleared.
Information concerning any aspect of the refund of fees may be obtained from Student Accounts Office located in Sierra Hall, Room 119 or by phone at 537-7426.
Students will also receive a refund of mandatory fees, including nonresident tuition under the following circumstances:
• The tuition and mandatory fees were assessed or collected in error;
• The course for which the tuition and mandatory fees were assessed or collected was cancelled by the university;
• The university makes a delayed decision that the student was not eligible to enroll in the term for which mandatory fees were assessed and collected and the delayed decision was not due to incomplete or inaccurate information provided by the student; or
• The student was activated for compulsory military service.
Students who are not entitled to a refund as described above may petition the university for a refund demonstrating exceptional circumstances.
Information concerning the refund policies of California State University, San Bernardino for the return of unearned tuition and fees or other refundable portions of institutional charges is available from the Office of Accounting 5500 University Parkway, San Bernardino, CA 92407, (909) 537-5153 and through the internet at the following address http://admnacct.csusb.edu/sao_refunds.htm.
FEES AND DEBTS OWED TO THE INSTITUTION
Should a student or former student fail to pay a fee of a debt owed to the institution, the institution 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 debt” until the debt is paid (see Title 5, California Code of Regulations, Sections 42380 and 42381).
Prospective students who register for courses offered by the university are obligated for the payment of fees associated with registration for those courses. Failure to cancel registration in any course for an academic term prior to the first day of the academic term gives rise to an obligation to pay student fees including any tuition for the reservation of space in the course.
The institution may withhold permission to register or to receive official transcripts of grades or other services offered by the institution from anyone owing fees or another debt to the institution. If a person believes he or she does not owe all or part of an asserted unpaid obligation that person should contact the Director of Accounting. The Director of Accounting will review all pertinent information, provided by the person and other campus offices and advise the person of its conclusions.
Basic Registration Fee and Non-Resident Tuition Refunds
Check the Refund Schedule below to determine whether you are eligible for a refund and how it will be calculated. If you are not receiving financial aid and withdraw from all your classes or reduce your number of units to six or fewer, you will automatically receive a refund of your basic registration fees and tuition as indicated in the table below. If you are a financial aid recipient, some or all of the fee refund may be returned to financial aid accounts and not directly to you.
Student Accounts will begin processing refunds after April 21, 2008. If payment was by cash, check, or ATM your refund will be made by check. If payment was by credit card your refund will be issued as a credit to the original credit card used for the payment. A refund processing fee, plus any outstanding fees or charges, will be deducted from you refund. For instructions on dropping and withdrawing from classes, see Registration pages 93 and 94.
For more information on refunds, contact Student Accounts Office (SH-119) at (909) 537-7426.

Number of days in quarter 78
** All refunds will be subject to a $25.00 administrative charge.
**Withdrawal includes MEDICAL WITHDRAWAL and EDUCATIONAL LEAVE.
How to Calculate Pro-Rated Refund:
1. Count the number of days from date session begins to date of actual withdrawal date.
2. Divide the number of days by 78, (the number of days in the quarter) and get a percentage, and then multiply it by actual fees paid to get your prorated fee.
3. Subtract pro-rated fee from actual fees paid. This will be your refund, minus an administrative charge.
Example:
1. Jim, a graduate, withdraws from all his classes April 2 (5 days).
2. 5 ÷ 78 = 6.41%: 6.41% x $1357.50 = $87.02
3. $1362.50 -$87.02 -$5 ID -$25 Admin Fee = $1245.48
