Cal Poly Maritime Academy FeesBeginning fall 2026, all Cal Poly students attending Cal Poly Maritime Academy will be charged Cal Poly fees. Because this shift was not something former Cal Maritime students anticipated when they began their studies, students who enrolled at Cal Maritime before the integration with Cal Poly will receive scholarships to help offset the change in fees.
