Faculty, and staff must always show two forms of picture identification, endorse the check, and enter their social security number on the check. Post-dated checks will not be accepted. Current fee information is published each semester n the Columbus State University Schedule of Courses.
All fees are payable at the scheduled time each semester.
Students are not officially registered until all fees have been paid. Arrangements should be made in advance through the Admissions Office. No emancipated minor or other person 18 years of age or olds shall be deemed to have gained or acquired instate status for tuition purposes while attending any education institution in Georgia, in the absence of a clear evidence that he or she has in fact established legal residence in Georgia. If a person is under 18 years of age, registration may be made as an instate student only upon showing that the supporting parent or guardian had been a legal resident of Georgia for a period of at least 12 months immediately preceding the date of registration. If the legal residence of a parent or legal guardian of a minor changes to another state following a period of legal residence in Georgia, the minor may continue to take courses for a period of 12 consecutive months on the payment of instate tuition.
