Initial housing payment?

<p>So I’m going through the entire housing and dining application process and I’m a bit confused. I’ve completed the form online, updated my emergency information, and just have the signature page and payment to do now. On the signature page it requires you to write out the receipt number from your payment but I’m a bit scared to make the payment considering it is $2125 and I am still wait listed at a couple other possible colleges. </p>

<p>I want to send the application in as soon as I can to get my housing preferences but I’m also not sure if this payment is refundable. I’ve looked around the site for some information but haven’t found anything. So can anyone clear this up for me? And possibly point me to where on the cal poly site it explains this?</p>

<p>I know there’s a certain date that you can ask for a refund without penalty or very little. I’m not sure what it is this year, though. If you don’t want to pay any processing fees when you pay, be sure and use eCheck through CASHnet rather than a credit card.</p>
