Application fees

About application fees

The application fee is $70 for each UC campus to which you apply. You must include the fees with your application or it will not be processed.

If any of your campus and/or major choices are closed to new applicants for the term to which you apply, you will receive a refund for each closed campus and/or major. Otherwise, application fees are not refundable.

International non-immigrant applicants

You must pay a higher application fee of $80 for each campus selected. However, if your answers to questions regarding California residency qualify you for residency status for the purpose of fees, you may pay the lower application fee of $70 per campus.

Fee waivers

UC will waive application fees for up to four campuses for qualified students who would otherwise be unable to apply for admission. The fee waiver program is for United States citizens and permanent residents only.

Students who qualify for fee waivers and who select more than four campuses must pay $70 for each additional choice.

Apply for a fee waiver
You can apply for a fee waiver within the online application and be notified immediately whether you have qualified. You will need to provide your family's income and the number of people supported by that income.
