Fees

The tuition, fees, and charges posted on the Office of the Registrar website 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.

All the student fees except for registration fee deposit, student health insurance fee, Instruments, Equipment and Supplies fee (for DDS), and late fees are refundable.

UCSF follows the established refund schedule set by UC Office of the President. Please see the refund schedule at registrar.ucsf.edu/registration/refunds.

New students who receive Title IV federal financial aid and withdraw during their first academic term after registration and prior to the 1st day of instruction receive 100% refund (less a maximum administrative fee of $100 or 5% of the total charges assessed, whichever is less). The percentage of refund decreases for withdrawals after the first day of instruction, and there is no refund for withdrawals after the 42nd day of instruction. 

Continuing, readmitted, and new students who do not receive federal financial aid and withdraw after registration and prior to the first day of instruction receive a 100% refund (less a service charge of $10). The percentage of refund decreases for withdrawals after the first day of instruction, and there is no refund for withdrawals after the 35th day of instruction.

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.
