Tuition and Fee Policies

This schedule reflects the tuition and fees in effect at the time of publication of this Catalog. The University reserves the right to change tuition and fees as it deems necessary; however, the learner who has enrolled in a program of study, signed an Enrollment Agreement and commenced courses, will not be subject to a tuition increase during the duration of the enrollment provided the learner maintains satisfactory academic progress and maintains continuous enrollment. Subsequent Enrollment Agreements will reflect the tuition in effect when the agreement is signed.

Learners who have completed course work but have an outstanding balance will be provided with written notice of any tuitions and fees payable. All outstanding fees and tuition must be paid in full prior to enrollment in additional coursework. Repeated courses and courses taken beyond those required on the degree plan require additional tuition.

By registering, learners agree to be held responsible for all tuition and fees. Tuition and fees for all learners, including those who elect semesters or monthly payment plans, become an obligation in accordance with the provisions of the Refund Policy described in this catalog. Tuition and fees are due, in full, by the predetermined deadline. Failure to make payments of any indebtedness to the University when due, including but not limited to tuition fees and payment plan options is considered sufficient cause, until the debt is settled with the university, to (1) bar the learner from classes and examinations; (2) bar the learner from future registration until all financial obligations are satisfied; (3) suspend all University services and privileges; (4) suspend the learner; (5) assign the student to a collection agency (learners who have been assigned to an outside collection agency will be required to pay in advance for all future registrations and services); (6) report the learner to a credit bureau. This policy will be equally enforced against debts discharged through bankruptcy. Permission to cancel enrollment does not constitute, nor shall it be construed as, a waiver by the University of a learner’s financial obligation. Learners are still responsible for all outstanding debts and contracts with the University. Furthermore, learners must not have any delinquent financial obligations to CalSouthern the time classes begin or their registration may be revoked.

While California Southern University, as a member of the AIU System, is part of a Title IV eligible institution offering Title IV eligible programs, CalSouthern has elected and designated some of its programs as not participating in Title IV federal financial aid programs. If a program is designated in this manner, it will be noted in its catalog description. This means learners enrolling in these designated programs may not use Federal Student Aid to help pay for them. Instead, it offers a variety of zero interest payment options for learners.
