Students and Parents

Student Financial Services

At Cal Maritime, our goal in Student Financial Services is to provide students and parents with the information and tools necessary to understand and fulfill their financial responsibilities. Student Financial Services manages all student financial accounts, including billing, payments, financial aid disbursements, and refunds.

Please note: All financial information and communications are directed to the student, in accordance with federal privacy regulations. If a student wishes to allow a parent, guardian, or other individual to access account details, they must complete the Authorization to Release Information link here. This allows us to discuss specific financial information with someone other than the student. Students can also grant online bill access through (formerly CASHNet) by assigning a Parent PIN.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you鈥檙e trying to see what you owe or make a payment, the best place to start is your Student Center in PeopleSoft. From there, you can review your charges and click through to make a payment. You can also log in directly to Transact (formerly CASHNet) to make secure online payments anytime鈥�24/7.

Cal Maritime is a cashless campus, so we don鈥檛 accept cash. If you're paying online, use Transact to pay with an electronic check (ACH) or a credit/debit card (keep in mind there鈥檚 a small service fee for card payments).
If you鈥檙e paying in person, bring a check or money order to the Cashier鈥檚 Office. And if you鈥檙e mailing your payment, make sure to include the student鈥檚 full name and ID number in the memo line of the check.

For convenience, we recommend making secure online payments through Transact (formerly CASHNet), available 24/7.

If a parent or another person is helping you manage your finances, you鈥檒l need to give them access. You can do this in two ways:

Fill out the Authorization to Release Information form so we鈥檙e allowed to speak with them.
Set them up with a Parent PIN through Transact so they can view your bill online.

Without these, we can鈥檛 discuss your account with anyone but you, due to privacy laws (FERPA).

Payment deadlines vary depending on your enrollment date. Refer to the 鈥淚mportant Dates & Deadlines鈥� section for up-to-date billing cycles. Generally, tuition is due shortly after billing, and late fees apply if payment is not received by the posted due date.

Once your financial aid is applied to your account, any remaining balance (after tuition and fees are covered) will be refunded to you. If you鈥檝e signed up for direct deposit through your Student Center, the refund will go straight to your bank account. If not, you鈥檒l receive a check by mail鈥攚hich takes longer.

Unpaid balances may result in a $25 late fee, a hold on your account, and blocked access to registration, grades, or transcripts. Be sure to pay or contact us before the due date if you anticipate issues.

Log in to your Student Center and look for any holds listed. If you see one, click on it for details鈥攊t鈥檒l tell you what type of hold it is, why it鈥檚 there, and which department to contact to resolve it.
