This is an installment payment plan, not monthly rent. Students who vacate due to an approved release of the license agreement will be charged on a pro-rated basis.

Initial Payment: A non-refundable processing fee of $50 is due with your license agreement. The initial payment may be made online during the application process.  The $50 processing fee is non-refundable even if the license agreement is approved for cancellation.

Residence Hall Association Fee: This one-time annual fee of $15 is charged to all CSUN Student Housing residents and it is established to partially fund the Residence Halls Association (RHA). RHA is essentially your student governing board in housing that promotes student advocacy and plans engaging events for residents to enjoy.

Payment and Financial Aid Verification: The first payment and verification of intent to live in Student Housing is due by July 19, 2024. If you receive financial aid of $5,000 or more you are required to log into your Student Housing Portal by July 19, 2024 and follow the online steps for verifying your Financial Aid award and confirming that you will be living on campus. Not making your first payment or not verifying online that you have sufficient financial aid will result in your contract being cancelled and your bed space being given to another student.

Financial Aid Disbursement: If any financial aid is awarded and there are funds remaining after tuition fees are paid, these funds are applied toward other University debts on the resident’s account such as housing installment payments. Licensee agrees to review account balance information regularly through Licensee’s CSUN Student Account and make payment on or before the published due dates shown above.

Financial Aid Changes: Changes to financial aid may have an impact on the licensee’s balance due. Changes in financial aid, whether imposed or voluntary, will not nullify any obligations of this license agreement. Full and prompt compliance with all Financial Aid Office requests for information is strongly advised to ensure a timely financial aid award and disbursement.
