Congratulations on your offer of undergraduate admission to Cal State LA! Of the many thousands of applications that we received this year, we chose you to join our incoming class. This is a great accomplishment and an important opportunity.
The ECD requirement does not apply to current and continuing Cal State LA students, and new graduate/certificate/credential students in state-supported programs. If you were admitted to a program offered by the College of Professional and Global Education (PaGE), visit the PaGE Intent to Enroll webpage for next steps and how to reserve your seat.
Veterans Benefits
U.S. military veterans, service members, or their dependents: If you will be using VA benefits (Chapter 31: Veteran Readiness & Employment program or Chapter 33: Post 9/11 G.I. Bill) for your campus tuition and fees, you may also apply for an ECD waiver. In the waiver request, please indicate you will be using VA benefits and specify which one (Veteran Readiness & Employment Program or Post 9/11 G.I. Bill) for the waiver reason.
What if I miss the deadline?
If you do not submit the Enrollment Confirmation Deposit (ECD) by the stated deadline, we will assume you are not interested in accepting your offer of admission and proceed to withdraw your admission application. If this not the case, please submit an admission appeal for late ECD consideration.
What if I pay the deposit but don't enroll?
Students who submit the Enrollment Confirmation Deposit but do not successfully enroll in the term of admission must reapply for future admission consideration and should plan to meet admission deadlines and requirements that are in effect at that time. The ECD is non-refundable and non-transferable to a future term.

The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, CSU must reserve the right, even after fees are initially charged or initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees. All listed fees, other than mandatory systemwide fees, are subject to change without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor, or the Presidents, as appropriate. Changes in mandatory systemwide fees will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Working Families Student Fee Transparency and Accountability Act (Sections 66028 - 66028.6 of the Education Code).
