Payment of Fees

Fees subject to change without notice.

All general University fees (University Registration Fee and Educational Fee and, as appropriate, Fee for Selected Professional School Students or Tuition for nonresidents of California) and deposits must be paid at the time of registration, or within the semester or quarter in accordance with an authorized campus installment or deferred fee payment plan, as announced by the Chancellor. Other fees and deposits may be paid at this time if desired; in any event, all miscellaneous fees should be paid within one week of the date of registration or by the date announced by the Chancellor. An additional charge will be made for failure to pay required fees or deposits by the dates announced (see Miscellaneous Fees and Service Charges published by each campus).

Receipts of proof of payment are issued for all payments and these should be carefully preserved. No student will be entitled to a refund except after surrender to the Cashier's Office of the student's original receipt, if issued, or canceled check, money order, or registration card.
