How to Read Your Student Account

Access

Students can view their student account from their Student Center (accessed via MyCSUSM). From Student Center, students can see a summary of their current account balance and review transactional details and due dates.

 

Account Summary

In the Finances section of Student Center, an Account Summary displays an Account Balance which indicates the total owed on your student account.  This amount will be a total of all unpaid tuition and fees for all terms.

If any financial aid has been accepted for an upcoming term, the amount of Anticipated Financial Aid will also display here.

If the amount of anticipated financial aid is less than the account balance, the Remaining Balance will indicate the amount you are responsible to pay:

Account Summary

Payment can be made from this section by clicking the yellow “Make a Payment” button.

 

If the amount of anticipated financial aid is more than the account balance, the amount of Anticipated Refund* will display:

*Refund amounts are subject to change, based upon any changes to financial aid or enrollment status.
