IPP (Installment Payment Plans)

Installment Payment Plan (IPP)

Fall 2025 - INSTALLMENT PAYMENT PLAN AGREEMENT (fillable)

The Installment Payment Plan (IPP) is designed to help students manage the cost of higher education by offering a convenient, no-interest payment option.

Administered by the university, the IPP divides total semester charges—including tuition, fees, housing, and dining—into three equal monthly installments, making it easier for students and their families to budget and plan ahead.

To participate, students must complete and sign the Installment Payment Plan application during the enrollment period and submit the first installment (one-third of eligible charges) plus a $50 nonrefundable administrative fee by the first due date. Tuition, campus-based fees, and administrative fee are split into three payments—must be paid in full upfront. A new application is required each semester.

Fall and Spring semesters ONLY

Eligibility

Students must meet all of the following conditions to qualify:

  • Enrolled in an undergraduate program (not including Open University or Graduate Students in Extended Learning courses)
  • Enrolled in current semester courses
  • Have current semester charges of $400 or more after financial aid
  • All prior semester balances must be paid in full

bl Students receiving financial aid must subtract their aid from total charges. If the remaining balance is $400 or greater, they may use the IPP.

PLEASE NOTE: Your Installment Payment Plan agreement is not active until the first payment has been received. Payments can be made online through Transact Payments (via ACH or credit card), by check, or in person at the Cashier’s Office in the Administration Building.

🔔 Please be aware that Cal Maritime is a cashless campus—cash payments are not accepted.

Important Notice Regarding Fee Amounts

All listed fees, other than mandatory systemwide fees, are subject to change without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor, or the Presidents, as appropriate. Changes in mandatory systemwide fees will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Working Families Student Fee Transparency and Accountability Act (Sections 66028 - 66028.6 of the Education Code).
