CSUS Commuter Pass Savings

I pay $35.00/month for unlimited use of public transportation through discounts available to civil servants. This saves $140 (March-June). Open University registration did not start until February, so I had to buy my February pass at work.

The normal cost of a monthly regional transit pass adds up to $100. So that amounts to a $500 savings (Feb-June) for most CSUS students.

CSUS Open University tuition this spring cost $640 for four credits ($160/credit).

So far, I have been able to reduce that by $150 (tuition reimbursement at work) + $140 = $290 (~45%). This does not include purchase of required books, which equals ~$150. So overall, ~37% in savings. Every little bit helps.
