Cal Vet College Fee Waiver Submission
DO NOT UPLOAD WAIVER APPLICATIONS. WE DO NOT ISSUE WAIVERS OURSELVES.
If you are an incoming student or this is the first time you are using a Cal Vet College Fee Waiver, CLICK HERE to schedule an appointment with Kari Leslie, CMCS Lead Coordinator to better understand your benefits and how they work.
- Address on the waiver must match at least one student address in your Cal Poly portal.
- The waiver covers the same tuition costs as the Cal Grant Fees (not Cal Grant B), State University Grant, and Athletic Fee Awards. There is no need to have both - they can not be used together.
- You will not receive additional confirmation that your waiver has been submitted. Please review your student account once your state tuition for the quarter has been charged, to see when the waiver is applied. If there is an issue with your waiver, we will reach out to you via your Cal Poly email.
2023-24 Academic year waivers will only upload their approval code (given to you by the approving agency - your county veterans service office - and your social security number. We will access your approved waiver through the state system. Waivers are now school-specific and cannot be used at multiple schools. We can access the state system to download your waiver once with the information you provide below. If you will be attending multiple schools, please request multiple waiver approval codes from your Veterans Service Office.
NEW, INCOMING STUDENTS FOR 2023-24:
