• CSU Application Fee Waiver, If financial circumstances have changed for 2020, applicants will need to contact the CSU campus directly to request a fee waiver.  Campuses may use a Fee Waiver Appeal form or some other method to receive requests. If approved, a coupon code that covers the cost of the application is provided by the campus. Applicants should complete (not submit) the application in full as soon as possible to confirm they are not eligible for the fee waiver based on 2019 income information and then contact the campus(es) to request a fee waiver appeal. Some campuses have students work with the financial aid office for this but the process at each campus may vary.  Applicants may contact the campus admission office via the general email found here.
  • Application fee waiver appeals are also still available. If a student’s family has experienced a significant change in income between 2019 income, reported on their application, and 2020 they may qualify for an application fee waiver appeal. Fee waiver appeals are handled by the individual CSU campuses. The student would need to contact each campus(es) they are interested in applying. Contact information for campuses can be found here.
  • The fee waiver appeal form is available on the Application Fee Waiver site.
  • CSU Application fee waiver appeals for San Francisco State University should be submitted to us by Thursday January 28, 2021 at the latest since January 31 lands on a weekend.

These requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, but the student must submit the application first before requesting the fee waiver. There is no fee to waive if the student hasn’t actually submitted the application yet. (Ask UC, askuc@ucop.edu)
• Please note that once the application has been submitted students cannot make any edits to content. They can make changes to their contact information and in January they will submit their Fall grades and make any changes to what they had initially planed for Spring.  They cannot make any changes to PIQs, activities, courses for prior terms (before FA20) or add any other academic history.  If they discover an error, they can add a comment in the TAU in January.
