(1) All fee and tuition amounts are subject to change without prior notice. The amounts posted include the tuition increase approved by the UC Regents in July, 2011, and are based on the assumption that systemwide fees and tuition remain the same. For the most recent fee and tuition amounts, please visit the Office of Budget & Institutional Analysis website.

(2) Undergraduate nonresident fees and tuition of $36,738 (not including health insurance) includes nonresident supplemental tuition of $22,878 in addition to systemwide fees and tuition plus campus-based fees totalling $13,860. Example nonresident budget based on the On-Campus figures. Actual budget may vary.

(3) Students residing in campus apartments and not in Residence Halls or Transfer to Single Student Apartments do not have a Housing Contract, they have a 12-month lease and, therefore, are not eligible for an "On-Campus" budget. Even though they are physically on campus and may have opted for a meal plan (which is available to all students), they have not signed the Housing Contract and are not eligible for the "On-Campus" budget.

Students who wish to document additional expenses related to rent may contact the Financial Aid Office to ask about Documenting Additional Expenses. Students who have signed a Housing Contract are eligible for an "On-Campus" budget.
