Cal State Northridge and Cal State Los Angeles offer refunds up to to the start of the fall semester. UCLA's cutoff for refunds is when the contract's term begins. USC students must cancel before July 15. UC Irvine recently modified its policy to allow students to cancel before Sept. 1 for a full refund. Cal State Long Beach imposes a fee on cancellations less than 30 days before the contract begins, as well as a service fee of $275 no matter when the contract is canceled.
