Below are the rates for the 2012-13 academic year.

Service Charge

A nonrefundable service charge of $40 is included in the total cost.

Rates are subject to change by the Trustees of the CSU (Aztec Shops, Ltd., in the case of meal plans). 

Optional, Nonrefundable Fees

Activity Fee - included in the first scheduled payment is an optional, nonrefundable residence hall activity fee of $25 for the academic year. This fee entitles the Licensee to educational and social programs, and access to recreational equipment provided by the Residence Hall Association (RHA), the student government organization. 

Recreation Fee - also included in the first scheduled payment is an optional, nonrefundable recreation fee of $128 for the academic year, which entitles the Licensee to membership in the on-campus recreation center. 

These fees will appear as separate charges on the first scheduled payment. The fees are included in the total cost of the License Agreement and are not an additional charge. If the Licensee does not want to pay either optional fee, the Licensee must notify the Office of Housing Administration in writing with the completed License Agreement.
