SACRAMENTO-

It’s an early Christmas gift to some California State University students; a refund.

Sacramento State officials say because Proposition 30 was passed, a tuition fee contingency plan will roll back fees for every student to 2011-2012 levels.

The change is retroactive for the Fall term, meaning some students who already paid their tuition could get a refund of between $144 and $249.

Sacramento State will re-process financial aid packages and issue refund checks; their goal is to complete all adjustments by December 14.

Whether or not a student receives a refund, and how much that refund is for will be determined using multiple factors including method of tuition payment and unit load.
