Due to state budget cuts, UC resident tuition and fees were raised to a level that now exceeds the national averages for AAU public institutions. Total costs have risen at all institutions (public and private).

The total cost of attending college includes tuition and fees, as well as living expenses, books and supplies, transportation, health insurance and personal expenses.

In 2009-10, the University's total cost of attendance for California resident undergraduates was $26,916. Tuition and fees composed 35 percent of this amount.

The total cost of attendance is higher at UC than at AAU Public comparison institutions because of the relatively high cost of living in California.
