What if I am unable to pay the enrollment fee due to financial difficulties?
We are very pleased that you have chosen to enroll at CSU Monterey Bay. We also understand that due to financial difficulties, some students and their families are unable to pay the $100 Enrollment Confirmation Deposit at this time. However, we do not want that to be a barrier for students, so if you would like to accept your offer of admission to CSUMB, but are unable to pay the Enrollment Confirmation Deposit (ECD) due to financial difficulties, you may submit an Enrollment Confirmation Deposit Waiver request. The waiver request must be submitted by the December 1st Enrollment Confirmation Deposit deadline.
It is important that you complete the form accurately and explain the extenuating circumstances or financial difficulty that prevents you from paying the Enrollment Confirmation Deposit. Please be aware that by submitting the Enrollment Confirmation Deposit waiver request, you are also committing to attend CSU Monterey Bay for your admission term. You will be expected to follow through with all admission and enrollment requirements/deadlines to join the CSUMB Otter Raft.
US Military Veterans, Servicemembers, or their dependents: If you will be using VA benefits (Chapter 31: Veteran Readiness & Employment program or Chapter 33: Post 9/11 G.I. Bill) for your campus tuition and fees, you may also apply for an ECD Waiver request. In the waiver request, please indicate you will be using VA benefits and specify which one (Veteran Readiness & Employment Program or Post 9/11 G.I. Bill) for the waiver reason.
After submission, please allow 7-10 business days for review and processing. If you submit an ECD payment before the approval of your ECD waiver request, it is not refundable.
