The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has made changes in how tuition and fees are assessed at all USG institutions. Clayton State University has experienced a substantial reduction in the economic support it receives from the state government. Increased costs to students have been kept to a minimum for the 2009-2010 fiscal year. Undergraduate students who are on Guaranteed Tuition will see no tuition increase; new students and returning students not on guaranteed tuition plans will pay $130 per credit hour for course work taken up to a maximum cost for 15 credits.
Students can see the exact cost of instruction, including tuition and fees, by logging into the DUCK and clicking on “How Much Do I Owe?”. The links below guide you to the various categories of tuition and fee information as approved by the Board of Regents for Clayton State University.

Returned Check Policy
If a financial institution declines payment of a personal check tendered by a student and returns it to the University, the student will be charged a $30.00 NSF fee. If the student's check was written for tuition/fees and is returned insufficient, the student will be assessed a late payment fee of $100.00 in addition to the $30.00 NSF fee. Students who fail to clear their financial obligations within 10 days of being notified will have their registration cancelled. A stop payment of a check does not constitute a formal withdrawal from the University or cancellation of registration and is considered a returned check. Those students who place stop payments on their tuition/fee payments will have their registration cancelled immediately. Students who tender "bad" checks may be placed on a "cash only" restriction. Official transcripts will not be issued for students whose accounts in the Bursar's Office are said to be delinquent. If necessary, legal action will be initiated by the University for the collection of debts. Georgia Law mandates that the University collect outstanding charges promptly. Clayton State University reserves the right to refer these debts to an outside agency for collection and requires the debtor (student) to pay any cost incurred during the collection process.
The Bursar's Office is unable to accept personal checks during the late registration and schedule adjustment period for tuition and fees.
Important Note about Financial Aid or Scholarships Administered by Clayton State University
If you are receiving any form of financial aid or scholarship administered by Clayton State University (including loans), you must follow the steps listed in the Scholarship Section on the Financial Aid Office web page. Please note that if you have any balance due after financial aid has been credited to your student account, you must pay that balance in accordance with the Fee Payment Procedures listed here. Failure to pay the balance will NOT release you from your obligation to pay.
General Regulations on Tuition and Fees
Semester fees are payable on or before registration payment deadlines as published for each semester. A student’s registration process is not complete until payment is made in full. It is the student's responsibility to see that his or her tuition and fees are paid even if the funds are provided by financial aid, scholarship, or some other source.
Checks should be made payable to Clayton State University for the exact amount of the required fees. During the normal registration period, the University accepts payment online or in person by VISA, American Express, Discover, and MasterCard subject to validation and approval. (Payment of fees may not be deferred). All fees are due and payable per deadlines published in the Schedule of Classes.
Note: We are unable to accept personal checks during late registration and the schedule adjustment period.
