Take Courses at any CSU for Reduced Rates
The Chico State Employee "Fee Waiver" (fee reduction) Program allows eligible staff employees to attend California State University (CSU) courses at reduced rates. The program is designed to assist employees in improving current job skills or in preparing for a new career.
Courses are taken for credit, and must be state-funded (so the program does not apply to Open University, Special Session, January Intersession, or most Summer courses).
