CASHNet Frequently Asked Questions

Cal Poly Pomona is not charging the service fee. Credit card transaction costs are significant. Due to the budget crisis and as a cost-cutting measure, the university will no longer accept credit card payments for registration and tuition. Credit card payment processing has been outsourced to a third party, CASHNet. CASHNet will process the university's credit card payments and will charge a service fee of 2.65% for registration and tuition payments. Service fees are non-refundable.

There is no service fee charge for parking, housing and other fees.

CASHNet will accept MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and VISA.

With the implementation of CASHNet, we will also be able to offer online payment options for miscellaneous fees. These will include graduation application, transcripts, orientation, enrollment confirmation deposit, graduation writing test fee, etc. In addition to being able to pay in person, students will be able to pay these online with no convenience fee charge.
