How to Apply to SSU:

  1. Follow the SSU application process and next steps listed on these Admission pages.
  2. Health Insurance typically increases annually; for the most up-to-date costs, please visit the International Student Health Insurance SSU Webpage.
  3. The California State University (CSU) makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, the CSU must reserve the right, even after initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees, without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester has begun.  Check out the Tuition and Fees Site.
