Cal State Fullerton and its Associated Students Inc. (ASI) have approved a campuswide ASI Student Wellness Initiative focused on eight dimensions of wellness aimed to improve the academic, environmental, emotional, financial, intellectual, physical, social and spiritual well-being of all Titans. The initiative includes a yearly student fee increase over four years, beginning in fall 2025.
Tuesday’s announcement of the initiative’s plan comes after nearly three years of student-led campus community engagement via social media, surveys, presentations and tabling on campus. Since 2022, student leaders gathered feedback focused on topics of student wellness and potential solutions.
The ASI Student Wellness Initiative was promoted to thousands of students and the campus community through open forums, surveys, presentations, emails, tabling and focus groups. More than 111,200 were informed via social media outreach. The ASI Board of Directors voted to approve the plan in spring 2023 and in fall 2024. President Ronald S. Rochon recently approved the initiative.
Students’ recommendations helped shape the plan, which includes proposals to expand the Student Recreation Center, the Titan Student Union (TSU), building a Wellness Center and increasing ASI programming to include more concerts and special events.
The plan also increases funding to student clubs and organizations, and allows for the expansion of ASI scholarships, centralizing all basic needs services in a one-stop-shop facility, adding quiet study and lounge spaces, modernizing the TSU food court and providing affordable food vendors and healthy food options.
The plan’s fee increase nudges the annual student campus union fee to $536 per semester at the end of four years, positioning Cal State Fullerton within the midrange of CSU campus union fees.
CSUF’s four-year student fee increase begins in fall 2025-spring 2026 with a $40 per semester increase and is followed in 2026-27 with an increase of $55 per semester from the previous year, in 2027-28 with an increase of $106 per semester from the previous year and in 2028-29 with an increase of $164 per semester from the previous year.
