Your student may use the Cal U Parent/Guest Portal to grant permission for a parent or guest to access this protected information and make payments to the student's California University account. The Parent/Guest Portal is the only avenue for a California University of Pennsylvania student to grant third-party access to his/her records.
However, please keep in mind that Cal Poly cannot provide any person, including a parent, specific student account information until the student in question has given us written permission to do so.
Further questions about the portal may be directed to family@calu.edu or 724-938-4361.
The student also may give permission for a parent or guest to make payments through this portal. In addition, Cal U students can use the Parent/Guest Portal to establish a FERPA passphrase, which the parent or guest must use to confirm his/her identity when calling a University office regarding the student's records.

Because students sometimes forget to update their address information , Cal Poly strongly recommends that students sign up for direct deposit to avoid possible delays caused by mailing time and/or address problems.
Mailing in a check: It takes approximately 7 to 10 working days for a mailed payment to get to campus and be processed. Given this expected time delay - and the possibility of disenrollment due to non-payment of fees (please review the Registration Fee Payment Policy link above), Cal Poly strongly recommends that payments be made through our on line payment options (eCheck or credit card). If you need help navigating the on line payment system, please do not hesitate to contact our Cashier's Office staff at 805-756-2256. We are here to help!
For information about eligibility for all types of financial aid funding, email the Financial Aid Office or call: 805-756-2927.
Cal Poly does not send bills. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of due dates for registration fees, housing, and meal plans. Please refer to the Fee Payment Schedule for general information (amounts and important links), when registration fees are charged to the student's Cal Poly account, and when/how students are expected to pay.
We hope that the information provided on our site will answer your questions adequately. However, please keep in mind that Cal Poly cannot provide any person, including a parent, specific student account information until the student in question has given us written permission to do so.
Upon officially registering for their first class, and in accordance with FERPA guidelines, the student must supply Cal Poly, as required per department, written authorization to release information to any person chosen by that student - this includes the parents.
Like all other financial aid, Parent PLUS loan funds will automatically be applied to the student's Cal Poly account and will be used to pay any outstanding charges. Once all charges have been paid, excess parent PLUS loan funds, if any, will be disbursed to the parent by check (mailed), unless the parent submits a written request authorizing Cal Poly to disburse the excess Parent PLUS loan funds directly to the student.
