Frequently Asked Questions

How do I Pay for University Tuition and Fees?

You may pay for university tuition and fees by personal check, overseas banker’s draft, online via Flywire (through your MySacState Student Center), certain credit cards, traveler’s checks, and cash (not recommended). Payments should be made to “California State University, Sacramento”. Please see more information about payment methods here.

Can I Wire Transfer my Tuition and Fees?

Sac State has partnered with Flywire to provide our international students with an easy, fast, and secure method of sending international tuition payments. Flywire can be selected as a payment option in Transact after you select ‘make an online payment’ in your Student Center.

When should I Pay Tuition and Fees?

Charges will appear in your Student Center the day after you are registered for classes. Please be sure to pay by your due date. Please carefully review the due date and refund policy before paying. Please note First Time Freshman are enrolled by the University via the Hornet Launch program.

Is there a refund deadline?

Yes. It is critical that students "drop" excess courses prior to stated payment deadlines. Refunds will not be issued for courses dropped after the posted deadlines.

Is there an Installment Plan?

Yes. Please see details here.

I see a $25 Late Registration Fee on my account. Am I required to pay this?

If you are a newly admitted international student, you are not required to pay the late registration fee during your first semester of attendance. The late registration fee will be waived for your first semester of study only. Late registration in a subsequent semester may incur a late registration fee.

I am sponsored by a third party (e.g. SACM). How do I have Sacramento State bill for my tuition?

Please make sure the Bursar's Office has updated sponsorship information (financial guarantee) regarding your scholarship prior to your due date, in order to avoid late fees. Your financial guarantee must cover the dates of the entire semester.
