FINANCIAL AID DEFERMENTS:

A financial aid fee deferment postpones payment of your registration fees. This means that you do not have to pay your registration fees before using Gator Reg. If the Office of Student Financial Aid notifies you that you have been awarded and you have accepted an offer of financial aid, you will be given a fee deferment. Enroll in classes by following the Gator Reg Procedures. Once you are enrolled in the minimum number of units required, your fees will be deducted automatically from your financial aid at the time of disbursement. If for any reason you are not actually eligible for financial aid, you must pay your registration fees by the published fee payment deadline or you will be administratively withdrawn from your classes.

You can verify your eligibility for a financial aid deferment by calling FAVoRS. Do not send payment or fee payment card to the Bursar's Office or apply for the University's Installment Payment Plan. See Special Circumstances concerning the payment of your registration fees.

If, at the time of disbursement, you enroll part-time, pay part-time fees and later you add classes that now require full time fee payment, you must pay the difference to the SFSU Bursar’s office immediately.

Please contact For specific current registration fee information or call the Bursar's Office at 415/338-1281.


GATOR REGISTRATION

Deferment of Registration Fees

Student who have accepted their financial aid will automatically receive a fee deferment so that they can take advantage of registration
through Gator Reg.

FEE WAIVERS / SUBSIDIES:

If another agency ( U.S. or Foreign ) such as: Veterans Administration, Dept. of Rehabilitation, Social Security Office, etc. or Scholarship organization will pay your registration fees or reimburse you for tuition and/or books, you must submit agency/donor verification to the Bursar’s Office and the OSFA. If an unauthorized letter covering your registration fees is not on file in the Bursar's Office, submit a copy of the letter to ensure your eligibility to register through Gator Reg. The letter must include your name, student I.D. number, the total amount of the subsidy, and the name and address of the contact person at the agency. The Bursar’s Office will provide you with a fee deferment and the OSFA will make any necessary adjustments to your financial aid. You are ineligible to receive a State University Grant, a Cal Grant A, Cal Grant T, or a portion of your Cal Grant B. These grants are specifically to pay your registration fees. If one of these grants has already been disbursed to you, you will be required to repay to SFSU the amount of grant you received.

DEBTS OWED TO THE INSTITUTION / UNIVERSITY OBLIGATION HOLD

The Bursar's Office at San Francisco State University may place a financial aid hold on your Gator Reg due to outstanding financial aid obligations to the University.
Should a student or former student fail to pay a debt owed to the institution, the institution may "withhold permission to register; to use facilities for which a fee is authorized to be charged; to receive services, materials, food, or merchandise, or any combination of the above from any person owing a debt until the debt is paid." ( See Title 5, California Code of Regulations, Section 42380 and 42381 ).
For example, the institution may withhold permission to receive official transcripts of grades from any person owing a debt.
If a student believes that he or she does not owe all or part of an unpaid obligation, the student should contact the campus Bursar's Office. The Bursar's Office, or another office on campus which student may be referred to by the Bursar's Office, will review the pertiment information, including information that the student may wish to present, and will advise the student of its conclusions with respect to the debt.

Students will be responsible for any legal costs incurred in collecting any unpaid tuition/fees and other miscellaneous university fees. Any amount owed may be reported to the Franchise Tax Board to offset tax refunds and/or from any state lottery winnings. Call the Bursar's Office at 415-338-1281 regarding a financial obligation hold.

WITHDRAWING FROM ALL CLASSES:

If, after registering through Gator Reg, you decide not to attend SFSU for the semester, you must officially withdraw from all registered classes. You must fill out a Withdraw Card in order to withdraw completely from the University. Consult with an advisor and, if you received financial aid, a financial aid counselor before you withdraw from the University. Also refer to the Refund Schedule in the Class Schedule to see if you are eligible for a refund of fees. Obtain clearance listed on the Withdraw Card and return signed form to the Registrar's Office. If you do not officially withdraw, you will still have to pay your registration fees and you will receive failing grades in all registered classes.
Warning: Withdrawing from or dropping all of your classes for the semester may cause you to be placed in immediate repayment for all or some of the financial aid you received! Click here to refer to Return Federal Aid Funds Due to Withdrawal from the University
