2022-23 Financial Aid Awarding, Student Financials and my.SDSU
All SDSU students who filed the 2022-23 FAFSA and do not have pending items on their To-Do list can view their aid eligibility via my.SDSU.
my.SDSU is a singular portal that streamlines the enrollment, registration, financial aid and student accounts processes. Via my.SDSU students are able to view Financial Aid tasks (To-Do Lists), if applicable, and take action for the Fall 2022 - Spring 2023 aid year. Students are also able to sign up for Direct Deposit via the my.SDSU Student Financials tile. Students who were previously signed up for Direct Deposit through Cashnet will need to reestablish Direct Deposit in my.SDSU.
Effective Fall 2022, SDSU is also a "post-pay" campus. Students pay tuition & fees in my.SDSU after they have enrolled in classes.
Financial Aid Disbursement and Aid Adjustments
Financial Aid disbursements are now taking place. Third party waivers and housing & meal plan charges are refleced on student's accounts. Financial aid will be applied to students accounts to cover university charges. Any overage will be directly deposited to the student's bank account. Sign up for direct deposit ASAP. Any remaining balance owed will have to be paid by the student. Be aware that a student's aid is tied to enrollment. Adding or dropping courses may lead to aid fluctuation.
The deadline to pay for Fall 2022 Tuition and Fees was September 12, 2022.
Non-payment may lead to enrollment cancellation, late fees and a Cashier's Hold which will prevent the student from Spring registration.
Please pay attention to emails and announcements from the Student Financial Center to stay informed about how to use my.SDSU to pay student charges.
Undergraduate Students and Students Pursuing a Teaching Credential
The Middle Class Scholarship program has been redesigned for the 2022-23 school year. The changes will allow
many new students to qualify who did not receive awards in the past. San Diego State
has received preliminary information regarding student's eligibility for the Middle
Class Scholarship. However, implementation of these changes will cause a delay in
awarding and students can expect to see their awards in my.SDSU after October. Also,
please note that the scholarship amounts will be subject to change throughout the
year since the Middle Class Scholarship awards are adjusted based on other aid that
a student receives.

Parent Access:
Due to SDSU's implementation of my.SDSU, the CSU-standard system, parent access is impacted. The system as implemented does not support parent access to student information, but in the future providing this functionality will be a priority. Read more in the my.SDSU Parents & Families Support page.

We can help you with questions related to financial aid, scholarships and student accounts.
- Students: please have your Red ID ready.
- Parents: make sure your student is with you or has authorized you to speak with us. FERPA regulations prevent us from speaking with you about personal financial aid information unless your student is with you, or has released authorization to you. Release of authorization is done in the "Privacy Settings" in a student's WebPortal account. This could take 24 hours to reflect on our end, so please be aware.
Prior to meeting with one of our counselors, please log into my.SDSU for financial aid, scholarships, billing, payments and refund information.
