Fee Waivers
CSU - Over 60 Fee Waiver Program
San Diego State University offers a fee waiver program for California residents 60 years of age and older. Both undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students may participate in the program. The program waives the $55.00 admission application fee and most of the Basic Tuition and Fees. The student will be responsible for paying a substantially reduced fee each semester in order to attend. Please contact Student Account Services for the current fee amount. Participants must apply for admission during the regular application filing period and be admitted under regular SDSU admission requirements.
Participants register for classes on a space-available basis after regularly matriculated students have completed registration. For additional information, contact the Prospective Student Center at (619) 594-6336.
Third Party Billing/Approved Fee Waivers
If an outside agency (agency, government program, Employee Fee Waiver, etc.) is paying all or part of your Basic Tuition and Fees, you will need to send your fee payment coupon from “My Registration" via your Webportal account, and a copy of your authorization letter to Student Account Services. Failure to do so will result in your fees being deducted from your financial aid award or the inability to register for classes. Students submitting authorization to bill a third party for their fees will be held responsible for the payment if the third party agency fails to pay the fees within the semester of attendance.
