Payments
Pay the $500 non-refundable initial payment when you sign up for housing. This is required to submit the application and secure a space. The initial payment is automatically bypassed for students who qualify for payment deferral based on 2026-27 FAFSA or CA Dream application data as determined by the Cal Poly Financial Aid Office.
Annual housing fees are posted to your Student Account in August. Options for paying fees include deferring to financial aid—if there are funds remaining after tuition is covered, paying the annual balance or making quarterly or monthly installments.
