Transfer & Graduate Student Housing Fees
Updated: Feb. 18, 2020
2020-21 Fees Information
Payment Steps
-
Make the initial payment in the housing application.
The non-refundable $500 initial payment, required to secure housing, is the first step in the payment process.
Financial Aid
Students must have enough financial aid to pay for all of their tuition and housing to defer payment.
Note! Using 2020-21 FAFSA or CA Dream application data, the Financial Aid Office has identified and the system has coded the students who qualify for deferment of the $500 initial housing payment. To be considered, you must have a 2020-21 Financial aid application on file.
- Pay the balance owed.
Annual housing fees are viewable August 11, 2020. There are four options for paying the balance owed:
- Defer payment of Housing and Dining charges to be paid by financial aid (only if the student has accepted sufficient financial aid to pay for all Registration, Housing, and Dining fees).
- Pay entire annual balance by Sept. 1, 2020.
- Pay the quarterly balance by Sept 1, 2020.
- Pay the first monthly installment balance by Sept 1.
Students must, at minimum, pay the first monthly installment amount unless that payment is “Deferred by Financial Aid,” as indicated on the Money Matters tab of their Cal Poly portal.
