California State University, Fresno has sent courtesy reminders to students that full payment of the recently increased fee must be made by Friday, July 30, to avoid being disenrolled from fall semester classes they’ve scheduled.  “We know that students are far more savvy in planning their schedules in these budgetary times and don’t want to risk losing classes,” said Dr. Paul M. Oliaro, vice president for Student Affairs.   Warning letters were sent to all students with an outstanding fee balance; about one-third of the university’s projected 19,500 fall semester students. Disenrollment will be completed by Aug. 8, opening seats for those on wait lists and students seeking to add to their schedules.  E-mails are sent to wait-listed students who successfully registered in a class. Instruction begins Aug. 23.  Last month, the university sent notices about increases in undergraduate and graduate student class fees adopted June 18 by the California State University Board of Trustees for the 2010-11 academic year. Fulltime undergraduate students will pay $4,879 in campus and state university fees this fall. The CSU system average is $5,097, which remains the lowest among comparable institutions throughout the nation and $3,270 below the comparison average.  More information about the fees and the recent increase is available at:   http://www.fresnostatenews.com/wp-content/uploads/fee-increase-faqs.pdf  Related link:Previous post – Payment deadline is July 30 for mandated CSU class fee increases
