WELCOME TO THE CAL COAST STUDENT FINANCIAL CENTER
The center gives students and parents a chance to ask questions via Zoom regarding student accounts, financial aid and scholarships. The center’s mission is to assist our students and parents by providing a single point of contact to resolve questions regarding financial aid, scholarships, and student billing issues. Check out our video regarding our services.

We can help you with questions related to financial aid, scholarships and student accounts.
- Students: please have your Red ID ready.
- Parents: please be 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 via my.SDSU in the "Profile" tile. View the steps to release authorization here.
Prior to meeting with one of our counselors, please login to my.SDSU for financial aid, scholarships, billing, payments and refund information.

2023-24 Financial Aid Awarding, Student Financials and my.SDSU
Newly admitted SDSU students who filed the 2023-24 FAFSA and do not have pending items on their To-Do list can view their aid eligibility via my.SDSU in early April.
Continuing SDSU students who filed the 2023-24 FAFSA and do not have pending items on their To-Do list can view their aid eligibility via my.SDSU in mid June- after spring grades are finalized.
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 2023 - Spring 2024 aid year. Students are also able to sign up for Direct Deposit via the my.SDSU Student Financials tile.
SDSU is a "post-pay" campus. Students pay tuition & fees in my.SDSU after they have enrolled in classes.
Log into my.SDSU to check for Tasks/ To Do items.
Please pay attention to emails and announcements from the Cal Coast Student Financial Center to stay informed about how to use my.SDSU to pay student charges.
2024-25 Aid: FAFSA Simplification
Significant changes are coming to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application for the upcoming 2024-2025 aid year! As more information is available, the Cal Coast Student Financial Center will continue to update our FAFSA webpage, in an effort to educate SDSU students, families and campus partners.
As a result of the changes, the FAFSA and Dream Applications will not be available until December.

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.
