Footnotes:

¹ Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF): The Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) is administered by the California BPPE and applies only to California residents. The STRF fee is currently zero dollars ($0.00) per one thousand dollars ($1,000) of institutional charges The State of California established the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic loss suffered by a student in an educational program at a qualifying institution, who is or was a California resident while enrolled, or was enrolled in a residency program, if the student enrolled in the institution, prepaid tuition, and suffered an economic loss. Unless relieved of the obligation to do so, you must pay the state-imposed assessment for the STRF, or it must be paid on your behalf, if you are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all or part of your tuition. You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment, if you are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program. 

² If an applicant requests that a course, or courses, taken at another university be reviewed for transfer credit, the applicant is charged $75 for each course reviewed.  For each course approved for transfer credit, the cost of the applicant’s program will be reduced by the cost of the course that does not have to be taken and the number of courses the applicant will be required to take to complete degree requirements will be reduced by one. Textbook costs will be reduced by the cost of the textbook that would have been used in the AU course.
