For all students, payment in full is due at the time of registration, whether registering online, by mail, or in-person.

Methods of Payment

Go to the CSUN Portal, and enter your User ID and password.
Once you have logged in, scroll down to the College of Extended Learning box and select the “Student Center” link.

Click the “Make a Payment” button on the page. This will direct you to selecting the account that you would like to make a payment for.
Click either "EXL Credit Card Payment" (Visa or Mastercard only) or "E-check Payment."

If paying by electronic check: Once this option has been selected, you will be directed to a screen that requires your authorization of the amount that you want to be paid. Enter in the amount you would like to pay, and click on the “Add to Basket” link. At this time you will be directed to a page in which you’ll enter your routing number as well as checking account number. This will complete your transaction.
If paying by credit card: Once the Credit Card option has been selected, you will need to read and agree with the disclaimer in order to process your payment. You’ll need to enter the amount to pay and verify the payment type you would like to use (Visa or Master Card). You will then need to enter in the credit card information and click the “Submit” button to complete the transaction.

If there are any errors with the selected payment to go through, go to “Return to Payment Information” and correct the information.

Special Financial Status

Military / ROTC:

If the military is paying all or part of your Summer Term fees, submit a signed authorization on letterhead stationery or the 1556 form with your registration, along with the amount not covered. The University cannot bill for laboratory, material or late fees. Make sure the authorization clearly indicates the amount being covered, the sponsoring agency to be billed and the signature of your commanding officer or recognized official. We cannot accept deferments with contingency payment provisions.

Vocational rehabilitation:

If you are in a specially funded program for vocational training, your authorization must specify California State University, Northridge Summer Term, the particular session in which you will be registered and the amount of the payment. If your benefits do not cover the full cost, come prepared to pay the outstanding amount at the time of registration. You must pay any laboratory, processing and late fees due. You need to turn in your authorization form at the time you register.
