Fall 2024 Orientation Fee

  • $175 per student

The orientation fee is non-refundable and may not be applied to a future term. This means you will NOT receive a refund even if (a) you request to have our offer of admission (provisional or final) withdrawn at a later date or choose not to enroll; (b) our offer of provisional admission is withdrawn because you failed to meet an admission or enrollment requirement or deadline (including the transcript deadline); or (c) our offer of provisional admission is rescinded after reviewing your final transcript(s). The orientation fee must be paid in full by Saturday, June 1, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. 

Students who filed a 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act application on or before the April 2, 2024 deadline AND meet the criteria will be considered for a deferment. You must check the “Holds” section of your Student Center (visible in the upper-right corner of your portal). If you do not see “FA Orientation Deferral,” then you must pay the orientation fee by the above deadline or our offer of provisional admission will be withdrawn. 

If you see “FA Orientation Deferral” noted in the “Holds” section of your Student Center, then payment of the orientation fee will be charged to your first semester’s account. In other words, your fee will be deferred (but not waived).

After registering for an orientation session, you will be prompted to pay the non-refundable orientation fee. It is highly recommended that you pay the orientation fee before logging out. If you log out prior to submitting payment, you will need to use the payment link embedded in your myCI Student Center. To get there, log on to myCI and click on “CI Records” under “My Links.” For detailed instructions, click here

Payment options include an E-Check or credit card. E-Check option is free of charge. Credit card option will have a 2.65% added merchant convenience fee.

Funds must be readily available. There will be a $25 fee for insufficient funds and if incorrect account information is submitted.

If you have any questions, please contact Orientation & Engagement Programs via email at orientation@csuci.edu.
