2012-13 UC Santa Cruz Registration Fees

Undergraduate Fees | Graduate Fees | Refund Schedule

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.

The UC Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan establishes a minimum level of grant and scholarship aid for undergraduate students. Read the fact sheet for detailed information about the plan for 2012-13.

You can apply for private scholarships.

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 and printed in the quarterly Schedule of Classes. The information is also included with the billing statement; for more information on billing and methods of payment, go to the Student Business Services web site.

For background information including, when applicable, referendum language and fund distribution, go to the Student Affairs Student Fees web site, which also links to fee information for UCSC Summer Session.
