2023-24 STUDENT FEES (Updated July 17, 2023)

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.

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.

Students can opt out of the UC Graduate and Professional Council fee in the student portal.  Students can opt out on a quarterly basis, as long as they select the option by the deadline indicated in the student portal, and students can opt in if they previously opted out.  The election will remain in effect until changed.

Effective fall 2023, a Student Transit Pass fee applies.
