Student Involvement and Representation Fee (SIRF)
On January 28, 2014, the CSU Board of Trustees adopted the Student Involvement and Representation Fee (SIRF) proposal, which went into effect in the Fall 2015 term. Submitted to the CSU by the Cal State Student Association (CSSA), the proposal aims to create a more stable, independent, and expanded statewide student association.
Through a $ 2-per-term voluntary fee assessed to each CSU student, the funding model replaced CSSA鈥檚 long-standing revenue sources, which included Associated Students membership dues, fundraising, and Chancellor鈥檚 Office grants.
Each CSU student will have the option to elect not to pay the fee for financial, political, or personal considerations each time it is assessed. Although the fee is very low, $2 per semester, we recognize that students deserve a choice in funding their student advocacy association.
The SIRF fee will not appear on a student鈥檚 account until registration is completed.
