This plan has a $33 non-refundable deferral fee. The second and third (final) payments can be paid earlier than the due date, but each payment must be received by 5:00pm on the due dates.

A: Failure to pay your installments may result in you being disenrolled from your classes, receive no credit for your classes, and will not receive a refund for the fees that you have paid. The University is entitled to withhold any of its services from you and take any other legal remedy available, including use of a collection agency. Defaulting on payments will prohibit you from being able to use the installment in future terms.
Q: I do not understand my statement. What do I do?
A: Call the Cashier's Office at (805) 437-8810 or visit the Cashier"s Office in the Enrollment Center on the first floor of Sage Hall.
Q: I received a Refund Check and now I am being charged for the something else. Why?
A: Refunds are calculated as of a particular date. After that date, you may be charged for something else. This does not happen often, but it does happen.
Q: What will happen to me if I do not pay my fees by the listed due date?
A: Should a student or former student fail to pay a debt owed to CSUCI, the university may withhold permission to register; to use facilities for which a fee is authorized to be charged; or to receive services, materials, or merchandise or any combination of the above until the debt is paid (sections 42380 and 42381 of title 5, California Code of Regulations). For example, Channel Islands may withhold permission to receive official transcripts from any person owing a debt. The student will also be disenrolled from their courses if they fail to pay their fees by the due date posted for that particular semester.
Q: What do I do if I feel I do not owe anything?
A: A student who does not believe s/he owes all or part of an unpaid obligation should contact the University Cash Services office at (805) 437-8810. That office will review pertinent information, including information the student may wish to present, and advise the student of its conclusions regarding the debt.
Q: Will I be charged a late fee if I register on or after the 1st day of classes?
A: A $25 late registration fee goes into effect at 5 p.m. on the published Registration Fee Payment Deadline for students who have not paid registration and other fees or have confirmed financial aid. Financial Aid students who have confirmed financial aid but not yet received a disbursement of funds will not be subject to this fee until the financial aid disbursement date.
Q: What happens if my Financial Aid does not pay all my fees?
Q: If I receive Financial Aid and I have not paid my fees for the upcoming semester, will I be dropped from my classes after the first day of class?
A: Financial aid must be applied for, and all paperwork (applications, promissory notes, tax records, Veteran's fee waivers, etc) must be completed, by the student's payment deadline to be eligible for a financial aid deferment.
Q: I am a Financial Aid student and I went up/down in units and my financial aid has already paid my fees, am I responsible for my balance?
A: If financial aid awards are changed, or disallowed, the student is responsible for making payment of any remaining balance within 10 days of notification or by the fee payment deadline date for the term, whichever is sooner.
Q: What did my loan, grant, and/or scholarship check pay for?
Q: Is my loan, grant, or scholarship ready for pickup?
A: Normally, grants, loans, and scholarships are applied to your account if the amount of your financial aid exceeds the amount you owe, a refund check will be mailed to you. To inquire if your financial aid award has been processed, please contact the Financial Aid Office at (805) 437-8530.
Q: Can my loan and/or grant refund check or scholarship check be mailed?
A: Assuming you do not owe anything, the answer is yes. However, be sure we have your correct mailing address. If you are not sure, please complete a Name/Address Change Form located in the Enrollment Center.
Q: Can what I owe be deducted from my loan, grant, or scholarship check?
A: Generally yes because grants, student loans, and some scholarships are automatically applied to your account. Some scholarships may be endorsed by the student in order to be applied to your balance. Any balance left over will be refunded to you.
Q: Do I get all my money back if I drop before the 1st day of school?

Q: Do I have to pay fees if I do not drop on or after the 1st day of class even if I never attend the courses?
