With the passing of Prop 30, students have a lot to be happy about.

The Cal State University Board of Trustees voted 11 to 3 to raise tuition by 5% if the Governor’s Tax Initiative failed.

“Alternatively, the board also voted to roll back the 9.1 percent tuition fee increase already in effect for fall if voters approve the tax measure,” stated a press release about the decision in September.

Since voters approved Prop. 30, students will see a reduction in their tuition for next semester and a refund.The amount of money refunded will depend on the student’s “fee category” and unit load.

That refund could be applied directly to your tuition balance, or you could get it “processed according to the original form of payment.” (In other words, if you paid by credit card, then the refund will be issued to your credit card. If you paid by check, then you will receive a check. Etc.)

Don’t want the refund applied to your student account? Graduating next semester? Request a refund by Nov. 30. Submit the form to University Hall, Room 180. Campus is open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
