Review Account Activity

Account Activity is now online for Fall 2020. The Account Activity feature of the Online Student Account will take you to a page where you can review a complete breakdown of the charges, transactions, and financial aid disbursements (if applicable) on your account. This function is a great tool to see how your financial aid funds are applied to fees, and to get more detailed information about current or past charges. In the Account Activity a white line item represents a charge and a blue line item represents a payment source.

Please note: Account Activity is currently unavailable for prior terms.

Housing Installment Bills Are Posted

Housing & Meal Plan installment bills have been posted to the Online Student Account (payment portal).

From the portal click “Make a Payment” to view the installment bills labeled “Housing Monthly Charges”. You can add these bills to your basket and submit payment at any time, now up until the respective due date. 

If you have any questions regarding billing and payments at SDSU, please contact us: “live chat” with us by clicking the chat bubble during business hours (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.), or email us at [email protected].

Please note that Financial Aid awards (grants, scholarships, loans, etc.) will be disbursed around mid August and applied to fees in the following order:

1. Basic Tuition & Fees
2. Non-Resident Tuition (if applicable)
3. Housing & Meal Plan

We recommend you take note of the listed due dates even if you receive financial aid; late payments will be subject to late fees and/or a temporary hold being placed on the student’s meal plan.

We look forward to seeing you this Fall. Go Aztecs!

The Year At A Glance: Registration & Finances

SDSU is a pre-pay university meaning Basic Tuition & Fees are due prior to registration. SDSU also has an early registration cycle; plan ahead and don't get caught off guard!

Spring registration begins in November—in the middle of the Fall semester. Basic Tuition is due before you are able to register for the Spring term. If you are not a California resident, Non-Resident Tuition must be paid in addition, but is due before classes begin in January.

Fall registration begins in April—in the middle of the Spring semester. Basic Tuition is due once more before you are able to register for the Fall term. Non-Resident Tuition, if applicable, is due before classes begin in August.

Learn more about Tuition & Fees.
