Fee Descriptions
The following fees are classified as Category I fees, which are fees that must be paid to apply to, enroll in, or attend the university. Additional
fees may be required to receive services, materials, or to use facilities provided by the university.
Fee to pay for instruction, materials, facilities, and services provided by the University. This fee is supplemented by state tax revenues appropriated
by the state legislature in support of Cal Poly's polytechnic mission.
Fee to support university-wide projects that address (1) educational quality, (2) student learning and progress toward degree completion, and
(3) institutional productivity. Allocation of these funds is based on a comprehensive, campus-wide consultative process involving faculty, students,
and staff.
Effective Fall 2002, this fee increased and the incremental revenue generated as a result of the increase is allocated to exclusively support
the degree programs, faculty, staff, and students in individual colleges. The allocation of these incremental funds is based on consultative
processes between deans, faculty, and students within their respective college.
This fee actually consists of four distinct components dedicated for specific purposes as follows: Children's Center Fee, Athletic Scholarship
Fee, Student Community Service Fee, and the General Programming Fee. The General Programming Fee goes towards support of ASI programs, services,
and student government representation.
