Your ASI Student Fees
How Your ASI Fees Benefit You
Your ASI fees at Cal State LA are an investment in your student life and future. These fees do so much more than cover basic services—they fund a wide array of resources, programs, and events that enhance your college experience. Whether it's free Scantrons, bluebooks, or opportunities to develop leadership skills, ASI ensures that every dollar works to make campus life more vibrant and supportive.
ASI plays a crucial role in advocating for students, ensuring your voice is heard on campus and beyond. Our student representatives actively participate in the California State Student Association (CSSA), pushing for policies and changes that benefit the Cal State LA community. Locally, ASI helps shape campus governance by engaging directly with university leadership to represent your needs and priorities.
Beyond advocacy, ASI brings a sense of community through exciting programming. From Eddie’s Rodeo during Welcome Week (a collaboration with CSI) to Spirit Week and the You Belong Campaign, ASI fosters an environment where every student feels welcomed and connected. These events not only create school spirit but also provide opportunities for students to make lasting connections and memories.
If you’re looking to get more involved, ASI provides the perfect platform. Through the Leadership Hub, you can participate in various leadership roles, whether by volunteering, joining campus-wide committees, or representing your fellow students in important decision-making processes. It’s a great way to gain experience, build skills, and leave your mark on campus.
Below, you’ll find a detailed breakdown of how your fees are allocated. Each dollar is carefully distributed to ensure you’re receiving the maximum benefit—whether through services, advocacy, or opportunities for engagement.
