>>>What to Pay

The total account balance is due on or before the published due date, including the fees for cruise if you are enrolled in those courses. The balance on account does not reflect financial aid awarded but not yet posted to your account.  You may deduct the amount of financial aid awarded and accepted, but not reflected in your account balance, paying only the remaining amount.  If it is later determined that your pending financial aid will not be awarded or accepted, the balance is due immediately plus any related late payment fees.

STUDENT FEE DISCLAIMER - The 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 initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees, 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. 

>>>When to Pay

The due date to pay fees for Spring 2010 is December 8, 2010. Meal cards for resident students will be activated after all fees are paid in full or you have sufficient financial aid awarded and accepted or have an approved Installment Payment Plan Agreement.  A late payment fee will be assessed on balances not paid in full by the due date.  A hold will be placed on your account to prevent further enrollment activity and your meal card will be revoked until payment is made.

You are responsible for confirming your enrollment and remitting your payment by the due date.  CMA will mail a postcard notifying you when fees are available to view online and the payment due date.  CMA does not mail fee statements.  Check your account balance regularly at Online Services.  Payment due dates, financial aid activity and student account activity is updated regularly.  Enrollment activity (adding or dropping classes) may affect your account balance. You are responsible for reviewing your account and paying your balance.  You are also responsible for following up with Financial Aid to make sure all your Financial Aid documents are completed so that your award is ready to apply to your account by the fee due date.

In Spring 2009, Cal Maritime introduced a new statement format called “e-bills”.  To view your E-Bill statement - my statement - you’ll need your 9-digit CMA Student ID number and the last four digits of your social security number.  If you do not have a social security number, your password is the MMDD of your birth. Select "Your Account" from the top navigation bar and then select "Your Bills".  

If you would like a parent or other responsible party to receive notices, you can setup a login for them on the "Your Account" page under "Parent PINs".  Be sure to include their email address and check the box that allows them to receive billing notifications.  When a statement is ready to view, each of you will receive an email notification.

If you have any questions about your statement or need more information about setting up a login for another party, please contact us at StudentAccounts@csum.edu or visit us at the Cashier's Office. 

Thank you for keeping your account current!
