All incoming Cal Maritime students must purchase their Initial Issue Uniform through the Keelhauler Shops Campus Store. There is a $500 non-refundable deposit required by the Office of Admissions due May 1, 2024; $350 is allocated to your uniform deposit and $150 to your housing deposit.

Payment for the remaining balance of the Uniform Initial Issue is due no later than the date set by the Office of Admissions. Financial Aid or scholarships may cover your uniform. However, we strongly suggest you pay for your uniforms out-of-pocket and reimburse yourself with your Financial Aid disbursement to avoid any delays on your uniform seabag. Please check with the Department of Financial Aid for your eligibility, how to apply payment, and the timing of any disbursement funds that may be available to you.
