Student tuition Recovery Fund (StRF): Students are required to pay the non-refundable state-imposed assessment for the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) of $2.50 per every $1,000 of tuition. California law requires that upon enrollment a fee be assessed relative to the cost of tuition. These fees support the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF), a special fund established by the California Legislature to reimburse students who might otherwise experience a financial loss as a result of untimely school closure. Institutional participation is mandatory.

Please note: to file a claim against the STRF, a student must be a California resident and prepay all or part of their tuition either by cash, guaranteed student loans, or personal loans, and their total charges are not paid by any third- party payer such as an employer, government program or other payer unless they have a separate agreement to repay the third party.
