Officials at CSU are planning for several scenarios in the fall, allowing the university to adjust with strategic contingencies if needed.

Fall semester tuition and fees will be determined midsummer, officials stated online. Rates will be determined based on fiscal support in the state budget, resources from federal stimulus packages and COVID-19 influences on the university budget.

CSU currently plans to open university residence halls in the fall, with apartment buildings open throughout the summer. Officials said they will not turn away students who are facing housing insecurity and need a place to live.

Officials said decisions regarding fall events at the university, such as Homecoming, athletic events and conferences will be determined late this summer.
