1. Payment Options

A. FULL CONTRACT
This plan is designed for students who wish to pay the full amount of the contract and not have the worries of making payments throughout the year. Students who choose this option will not have administrative fees added as with other plans.

B. QUARTERLY
This plan allows students to make their payments once each quarter, for a total of three payments for the academic year. A $10 administrative fee is added to each payment.

C. FINANCIAL AID
This plan is for students who anticipate receiving financial aid. Funds awarded will be credited directly to your student account. This includes any aid from a Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), State University Grant (SUG), Educational Opportunity Grant (EOP), Stafford Loan, Perkins Loan, Cal Grant, and any Cal Poly Pomona grant or scholarship. All outstanding charges due to the University, including registration and housing charges, will be paid from this account. If Financial Aid does not cover all expenses, it is the responsibility of the student to pay the balance due by the payment due dates. If you have any questions about your financial aid, please contact their office at (909) 869-3700.

If your financial aid is not awarded, or if the award does not cover all expenses, you will be required to pay the balance by July 1, 2009 for Summer Quarter, by October 16, 2009 for Fall Quarter, by December 7, 2009 for Winter Quarter, and by March 15, 2010 for Spring Quarter.

Financial aid recipients are expected to use their own funds for the $450 initial payment and any excess funds will be refunded during the scheduled financial aid disbursement dates as published in the class schedule.

D. INSTALLMENT
This plan is designed to meet the needs of students who would prefer to have their payments made twice each quarter, for a total of six payments for the academic year. Please follow the cost tables for the dates payments are due. A $10 administrative fee is added to each payment. Please note: This option is not available to students choosing the financial aid method, since all financial aid disbursements are done once per academic quarter.

2. Fees

If you are not interested in this membership, please deduct the fee from the amount listed in the second payment in the cost tables.

The establishment and adjustment of all fees administered by University Housing Services is governed by Executive Order 740 of The California State University. This executive order can be found at: http://www.calstate.edu/EO/.

Fees administered by University Housing Services include the following:

Housing Room Fee (Type III Fee)
Installment Payment Fee (Type III Fee)
Lost Key Fee (Type IV Fee)
Housing Security Deposit (Type IV Fee)

As detailed in Executive Order 740, recommendations to periodically adjust Type III and Type IV fees are approved or denied by the President of Cal Poly Pomona after appropriate consultation from the Campus Fee Advisory Committee.

As these fees are specific and apply only to students that live in housing provided by University Housing Services, and do not apply to commuting students or those living in other on-campus housing, Cal Poly Pomona chooses to conduct the required consultation and consideration of housing fee adjustments with the Interhall Council (IHC). IHC is the resident student government and as such, is the sanctioned voice and leadership for students living on campus in University Housing Services.

The Director of University Housing Services has responsibility for preparing recommendations for housing fee adjustments to the Interhall Council, including all documentation and financial information to support these recommendations. Consultation with the Interhall Council occurs at two levels: first with the IHC Executive Leadership, then with the full Council.

After completion of the consultation process with Interhall Council, the recommendation for adjustment of any or all of the housing fees is forwarded by the Director of University Housing Services to the President of Cal Poly Pomona for approval. A representative of Interhall Council holds a permanent seat on the Campus Fee Advisory Committee and has responsibility for providing information on the consultation process that occurred with that Committee.

Additional Fees Associated With UHS:

Board Fee (Meal Plan): The Board Fee is established by the Cal Poly Pomona Foundation, Inc., through their Board of Directors. While this fee is not governed by Executive Order 740, the same consultation process through the Interhall Council is conducted before the fee is considered for adjustment.

Interhall Council Fee: This optional fee to residents for programmatic support is established by the Interhall Council in accordance with the By-Laws of the Associated Students, Inc.
