For a list of browsers and versions, see SOLAR Web Browser Certifications.
Step 2
Your customizable myNorthridge page displays. In the pagelet My Path to Graduation, select the Student Center (SOLAR) link.
Step 3
You are now in the Student Center.
In the Finances section under My Account, click the Account Information link.
Step 4
The CSUN Student Account Information page displays in three sections: Student Account Information, Transaction History, and Charges Outstanding by Due Date.
In the first two columns of the Student Account Information section, transactions are listed by Term and Charge Type. In the third column, the Total Charges Outstanding (i.e., all unpaid charges posted to your account) are added up at the bottom of the list.
Step 5
In the fourth column, Anticipated Financial Aid is itemized by category (e.g., Tuition and Fees, Housing, Meal Plan). Anticipated aid is the amount awarded to you and accepted by you that has not yet been paid to your account.
The fifth column, Future Charges, displays housing, meal plan and other charges due more than 30 days from today.
The sixth and final column displays Current Balance Outstanding. This amount is due now.
Step 6
Transaction History shows all charges and credits by term, type and date posted. To view charges by a date range, enter the dates and click the Show History button. To view the entire history, do not select a date range.
Step 7
Find out when your payments are due in the Charges Outstanding by Due Date section. To open the section, click the triangle in the section heading.
Note: The deadlines to pay tuition and fees for enrollment in classes vary depending on the date(s) you registered. For more information, see the Fee Payment Schedule on the University Cash Services website.
Step 8
The Charges Outstanding by Due Date page displays the amounts owed by term, charge type and due date.
You may owe additional fees or be eligible for a refund each time you add, drop, or swap classes during registration periods. So check your account balance whenever you adjust your class schedule.
Important! To avoid disenrollment from some or all of your classes, be sure to pay tuition and basic registration fees in full by the established due date. Payments made after the deadline will not prevent you from disenrollment.
