With SDSU's new registration timeline, students will now register for the fall 2018 semester in April. The fall semester schedule is now available on WebPortal. Reminder your student to register on time.

Continuing students will now begin registration for the Fall 2018 semester in April 2018, rather than over the summer.

This important change will allow students to more adequately plan for their classes, as well as their work, internships and study abroad opportunities and other leadership commitments well in advance of the next semester. The new timeline also enables students to meet with advisers prior to registration. College administrators will also have more time to add sections of high-demand classes to meet student needs.

Because the new registration timeline is being moved earlier in the calendar year, students will be able to strengthen plans for their academic path, which could lead to them graduating earlier, resulting in overall cost savings for attendance.

In addition to the timeline change, the fee schedule is also changing.

Students' tuition and fees are still due prior to registration, and payment and registration information is posted on WebPortal. Continuing students will have to pay their basic tuition and fees for fall 2018 in April. More information is available online: http://registration.sdsu.edu/students/tuition-fees

Students who receive financial aid still have the benefit of a financial aid registration fee postponement. Students must have filed a 2018- FAFSA, and must have also submitted all requested documents, to qualify for the fee postponement.

Also under the new schedule, the basic tuition installment plan has four installments:

  • Fees for the Fall 2018 semester are due on Aug. 20, Sept. 20, Oct. 20 and Nov. 20.
  • For the Spring 2019 semester, fees will be due in installments on Jan. 20, Feb. 20, March 20 and April 20.

For the Spring 2019 semester, registration will begin in November of 2018.

Key benefits of the new timeline are that:

  • Students will know class times and needs earlier enabling SDSU to add classes where needs exist and hire more highly-qualified faculty.
  • Students can now meet with advisers to plan during academic semester, not during breaks.
  • Students can plan work and internship schedules in advance with employers.
  • It will have a positive impact on graduation and retention rates.
