You must then hand-carry the COP form to the Student Records Office (SSC 220) for processing and receipt of fee payment. If you are a financial aid student you must also have signed approval from the Financial Aid Office prior to turning your COP form into the Student Records Office for processing.

If you need assistance with Portal activation you may call Student Computing at (530) 898-HELP; if you need assistance with registration you may call Student Records and Registration at (530) 898-5142. Click on Portal Registration Assistance for further assistance.

Enrollment to audit a summer term class is subject to the permission of the instructor and permitted only after payment of all fees. Please refer to the University Catalog for the relevant policies.

Fee Statement

You will not receive a billing in the mail, but can access your student account by logging into your Portal account.

If no amount shows due, you should pay for the number of units in which you are or intend to enroll per the fee table. Pay your fees as soon after you register as possible, but no later than the Fee Payment Deadline. Fees must be received by Student Financial Services-Cashiering by the fee deadline date.

During the first two days of class you may transfer from one class to another class during any state supported summer term sessions without financial penalty. Summer term adds/drops are processed via COP form signed by the instructor and then taken to the Student Records Office for processing. If you drop a class after the 2nd day and add another class, or remain enrolled in any other class, fees will not be reversed. You are financially responsible for any class(es) in which you are enrolled after the 2nd day of any session, PLUS any class(es) in which you subsequently enroll.

You must drop your courses BEFORE the first day of classes to receive a full refund. If you withdraw on or after the first day of class up to the 60% point of the semester, you will receive a pro-rata financial credit of registration fees and tuition. After the 60% point, no financial credit or refund will be issued. Fees will only be reversed or waived for classes dropped after that date if you are unable to continue a class because of University regulations or compulsory military service. Full financial credit will be given if a class is cancelled. All refunds are subject to a $5 administration fee in addition to any non-refundable portion of the registration fees and tuition.
