How much does it cost to live on campus?
The cost to live on-campus varies depending on the room type you will be living in, the meal plan and payment plan option you select.  Please refer to the Cost Tables on the UHS website 2009-2010 Cost/Payment Plans .*

*The housing rates for the 2009-2010 Academic Year (Summer 2009-Spring 2010) is currently not available. We anticipate posting this information on the Housing website, under Cost/Payment Plans, between February and March 2009.

Do I have to turn in a payment with my License Agreement?
Yes, you must submit the initial payment once you have completed your online Student Housing License Agreement. You will be sent instructions to your Cal Poly Pomona email address explaining the procedure to make your payment. Payment must be received within ten (10) working days to hold your priority (date and time stamp of your online License Agreement submission).

What if I receive Financial Aid to pay for housing?
If you anticipate receiving or have applied for financial aid, you are still responsible for paying the initial payment. Once your financial aid is disbursed, it will pay your tuition first and the remainder will be used toward housing.  If you do not receive enough aid to cover your housing or if your aid is not disbursed, you will be required to pay the balance by the scheduled due date, as indicated on the Housing website: Click here for 2009-2010 Cost/Payment Plans    For more information on Financial Aid eligibility is available on the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships Website http://www.dsa.csupomona.edu/financial_aid/default.asp.

What forms of payment do you take?
The University accepts personal checks, cashier’s checks, money orders and any credit cards/debit cards with the Visa and MasterCard logo.

Where do I send my Housing payment?
New, first time students may make their initial payment through BroncoDirect (online student account), or may walk in or mail their payment to the Cashier’s Office (see below). Instructions will be provided once the Student Housing License Agreement has been submitted.

*Current residents (students already living on campus) that are contracting for the next year will be instructed on how to make their first payment.

To send in a payment:
California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
Student Accounting & Cashiering Services
3801 West Temple Avenue Bldg. 98-113
Pomona, Ca 91768

Make your check payable to CAL POLY POMONA, and be sure to write the student BroncoNumber on the check. Include information that indicates your payment is for HOUSING.

How will I know when my next Housing payment is due?
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that payments are made on or before the due dates listed in the Cost Tables posted on the housing website 2009-2010 Cost/Payment Plans.  The Housing Office does not send out bills, but will send out reminders via email. Be sure to write your BroncoNumber on the check/money order.

How do I change my payment plan?
Resident’s may request to change their payment plan in writing (letter or email) or by visiting the Housing Office, Building 59, Monday through Friday between 8:00am-5:00pm.

What is IHC?
IHC stands for InterHall Council, which is the student government for the residential communities.  The cost is $5 per quarter and it gives you access to the recreational equipment and discounted entry to programs and activities planned by IHC.
