Residential Program Fees

2026 Residential program fees coming soon.

Please note: Housing and dining fees are separate from the Semester Kickstart program fee because University Housing and Campus Dining are separate departments under the Cal Poly Partners and have their own policies. Each student will sign a separate Semester Kickstart housing and dining agreement. Please contact them directly with questions about their agreement and fees.


VIRTUAL PROGRAM FEES

2026 Virtual program fees coming soon.

Please note: Virtual students do not live on campus during the program and move into their fall housing during the regular fall move-in dates. Strong internet is required and must be provided by the student.
