UC Santa Cruz Registration Fees

 

Note: Some or all instruction for all or part of the Academic Year may be delivered remotely.  Tuition and fees have been set regardless of the method of instruction and will not be refunded in the event instruction occurs remotely for any part of the Academic Year.  Figures for tuition and fees represent currently approved or proposed amounts and may not be final.  Actual tuition and fees are subject to change by the University of California as determined to be necessary or appropriate.  Final approved tuition and fee levels may differ from the amounts presented.*

The tuition, fees, and charges posted here are estimates based on currently approved amounts. These figures may not be final. Actual tuition, fees, and charges are subject to change by the Regents of the University of California and could be affected by state funding reductions. Accordingly, final approved levels (and thus a student’s final balance due) may differ from the amounts shown.

New students starting summer 2016 or later, please note that classification of nonresident at any time during your academic career impacts your eligibility for university aid programs. These include but are not limited to university grant, USHIP grant, university loan, etc. For more information please contact the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office.

Registration fees are due and payable before the beginning of each quarter. The billing dates and deadlines for payment are found in the Academic and Administrative Calendar, printed in the quarterly Schedule of Classes, and online at Student Business Services. The information is also included with the billing statement; for more information on billing and methods of payment, go to the Student Business Services website.

UC Student Association (UCSA) and UC Graduate and Professional Council (UCGPC)

Undergraduate and Graduate students may opt out of the UCSA or UCGPC Association charges by submitting an online form before the third-week deadline of the affected quarter.  If you opted out and wish to opt-in, you will need to complete the same form.  Follow the navigation below to access the form in your MyUCSC portal.

After the third week of instruction (the Add/Drop/Swap Deadline on the Academic and Administrative Calendar) you are no longer able to opt out of the fees for the current quarter, but you may opt out for future quarters. A refund of current fees may be directed to the UCSA or UCGPC.

The U.S. Department of Defense Tuition Assistance (TA) Program requires that participating institutions charge tuition to TA recipients on a per-unit or per-course basis rather than as a flat amount per term.
