Costs, Registration Fees, & Tuition

Your education costs fall into two categories: registration fees (for instruction and university services) and living costs : housing, food, transportation, personal expenses. The latter costs are the kind you would incur whether or not you went to college.

Registration Fees

Registration fees vary. They depend on whether you are a legal resident of California, how many units you are taking, and whether you are an undergraduate, graduate student, or credential student. Students may be eligible to use one of the University's installment plans. More information and a copy of the installment plan contract are included in each semester's Class Schedule.
