Online Class Schedule

The class schedule can be viewed online beginning March 4.

Registration Time

Admitted SF State students will be given a 24-hour priority registration date and time during. Beginning March 22, students will be able to view their priority registration date by visiting the Extended Learning Web Reg page on MySFSU.  Admitted students will have 24 hours from the start of their registration time to enroll. After the priority period ends, students can only enroll during Open Registration periods (see below for dates and times). During the priority registration period, students can register online at MySFSU. 

Students who are not admitted to SF State can enroll in classes beginning on April 19, 2010. NOTE: Students who were admitted for fall 2010 are considered “non-admitted” students for summer.

How to Register

Admitted SF State students should register online at MySFSU.

Students who are not admitted to SF State can enroll online at MySFSU. Prior to enrolling, students should set up an SF State ID and password by following these instructions.

Students who have problems registering can contact the Extended Learning office in person at the Onestop Student Services Center or by phone at 415.405.7700.

No Wait Lists

There will be no wait lists for summer. If the course that you want to enroll in is full, please keep checking back to see if someone drops the class, or attend the class on the first day to see if there is space available in the class. If space permits, the instructor will give students a permit number to enroll in the class. Students who enroll in classes after the start date will need a schedule number and permit number to enroll online at MySFSU.

Fees

Students who are admitted to SF State as Undergraduate, Credential Only, or Graduate/Postbaccalaurete students will pay the fees listed above. Fees will be charged on a per unit basis so a student who is a Resident Undergraduate will pay $838.50 for a 3-unit class.

Students admitted for fall 2010 will pay ‘Non-Admitted’ fees for Summer Session. SF State students who are on probation or are disqualified will also pay ‘Non-Admitted’ fees for Summer Session.

Please note that all fees are subject to change as mandated by the Chancellor’s office or the President’s office.

Payment

Payment for course fees must be submitted AFTER registering for classes. After enrolling, the online registration system will display your payment due date. You can add and drop classes online up until your payment due date as long as no payment has been submitted. Once payment is processed, our office will assume that your schedule is final and drops will only be allowed by contacting our office in-person at One Stop Student Services Center or by phone at 415.405.7700. It is very important that students note their payment due date because failure to pay course fees by the payment due date will result in students being dropped for non-payment. Please note that students who have a financial aid fee deferment will be allowed to remain enrolled in their classes until their financial aid award disburses.

Financial Aid

Awards

Financial aid is available to admitted SF State students who are taking summer sessions classes. To request financial aid for summer, complete the 2010 Summer Financial Aid Request Form, available from the SF State Financial Aid website beginning March 15.  Registration fee deferments are issued only to students who request and are awarded financial aid for summer.

Drops/Withdrawals

Financial aid recipients are obligated to remain enrolled in and pass a certain number of units. Upon a financial aid recipient’s withdrawal from school, SF State is required by the federal government to calculate, collect, and return a portion of the federal financial aid grant or loan funds received by the student. The calculated returned aid funds are credited to outstanding federal loan balances and grant programs received by the student.

Prerequisites

Read the course description and footnotes in the class schedule. If you have not met the prerequisites and later must drop or withdraw from a course, you will be subject to standard refund deadlines and policies. Read the course descriptions to be sure you fulfilled any prerequisites and are eligible to enroll in each course. Complete course descriptions are available online, in the library, and in the SF State Bookstore.

Transfer of Fees 415.405.7700

Students can add and drop classes online up until their payment due date as long as payment has not been submitted. After payment is submitted, students need to contact the Extended Learning office to add and drop and transfer fees. Transfer of fees is permitted only if the transaction is submitted in person on one add/drop form, or by phone to SF State Extended Learning by the Add/Drop Deadline. If the amount of the added course exceeds the amount of the available refund for the dropped course(s), the non-refundable portion of the dropped course fees can be applied toward total fees due. These non-refundable fees are not included in any subsequent refund calculation. Students should not transfer fees more than three times during Summer Session.

After the Add/Drop Deadline, students must follow the withdrawal procedures for courses that earn academic credit.

Subsidies

SF State Extended Learning will process payment s from agencies and subsidizers for Summer Session classes. Admitted SF State students who have subsidy paperwork on file with SF State offices will need to re-submit all of their subsidy paperwork to Extended Learning.

Withdrawals

See Calendar & Deadlines for withdrawal deadlines. Students may withdraw from courses after the Drop Deadline and receive a grade of “W” by securing the approval signature of the instructor and the department chair and/or college dean on a withdrawal petition. (Note: failure to attend does not cause students to be dropped from a course.) No refund is given.

Do not put a stop payment on a check to drop or withdraw from a course. This results in a financial obligation to SF State for the course fee, plus an additional $20 charge. Failure to withdraw officially from a course generates a failing grade of 'F' or 'WU'.
