UC students who graduated in 2006-07 with student loan debt had less cumulative borrowing, on average, than graduates from UC's public comparison schools or graduates from two of UC's four private comparison schools.

The average debt among UC borrowers ($14,665) is equivalent to a monthly repayment schedule of about $170 per month for 10 years; longer repayment periods with lower payments are available.

Sources: UCOP Corporate Student System and 2007-08 (2006-07 for Harvard) Common Data Set. The Corporate Student System contains data on all degree-seeking students Universitywide. The Common Data Set (CDS) is a statistical survey designed collaboratively by college guidebook publishers and higher education institutions for collecting standardized information from higher education institutions. Institutions typically provide information to CDS to reduce the burden of reporting to a number of guidebook publishers; data on all institutions are available to all participants.

Figures for the 2007-08 graduating class are available for UC (see Indicator 2.13) but are not yet available for comparison institutions.
