send SAT scores to all CSU campuses and pay only one $9 fee, use the 
code 3594 (csumentor).

through e-mail.  Remember to set your spam filters low and check your 
email, including your spam folder, at least several times a week.  If 
you have a yahoo and hotmail account, remember to empty your messages 
so that your inbox does not get full and messages are returned to the 
colleges.
