Cost of Attendance Overview
The Cost of Attendance (COA) is what we estimate it will cost to attend Cal Maritime for the academic year. The COA includes tuition and fees, food and housing, books and supplies, transportation, personal and miscellaneous expenses. The only "direct billed" costs (items that the campus will charge you for directly) are tuition and fees, food and housing (if living on campus), and the Opt-In Corps of Cadets uniform (if applicable). Other expenses, such as books and supplies, travel and miscellaneous expenses, and off-campus food and housing are an estimate and your actual costs may be higher or lower than what we estimate.
A full, detailed and current Fee Schedule to all campus charges can be found here.
Fees Subject to Change
The California State University (CSU) makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, CSU must reserve the right, even after fees are initially charged or initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees. 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).
As per Assembly Bill 990, approved August 7, 2017, all public California colleges are required to provide information about the market cost of one-bedroom apartments in the areas surrounding the campus where students commonly reside. As of December 2023, based on a listing of ten one-bedroom apartments in Vallejo, the average monthly cost is $1,770 ($15,931 for a nine month academic year) per www.zillow.com.) Commonly, our students who have been granted appeals to live off campus will choose to live with multiple roommates in an effort to reduce costs.
