CSU Trustees Increase Student Fees for 2009-10 as Part of Overall Plan to Address Massive Budget Deficit

Facing an unprecedented drop in state support and a $584 million budget deficit, on July 21, the California State University Board of Trustees increased undergraduate, credential and graduate student fees for the 2009-10 academic year as part of an overall budget action plan.

Additional elements of the plan include employee furloughs and workforce reductions; enrollment cuts, and additional cost cutting measures on campuses. Effective in Fall 2009, full-time fees will increase by 20 percent for undergraduate students, teacher credential students and for graduate students. This increase is in addition to the 10 percent fee increase adopted in May. The undergraduate State University Fee will go up from the current $3,354 to $4,026 per year. Including the current campus fee of $514, CSU undergraduate students will pay approximately $5,054 per year, which continues to be the lowest fee rate among comparable institutions.

The Trustees also adopted a professional fee for regular session Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) programs and similar business graduate degrees. The fee adds $210 per semester unit for an annual cost of approximately $9,779.

2009-2010 SJSU Catalog Policy Update

Because of several key grading policies that go into effect for Fall 2009, SJSU will post an update to the printed catalog policies. Note that this information will supercede policies in effect at the time that the 2008-2010 SJSU Catalog was published.
