The tuition, fees, and charges posted to your billing statement or account 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 increases or reductions in State funding, or other developments. Accordingly, final approved levels (and thus your final balance due) may differ from the amounts shown.

Tuition stability plan: In the summer of 2021, the University of California Board of Regents approved the Tuition Stability Plan. This new tuition model adjusts University-wide tuition and fees for each incoming undergraduate class—both freshmen and transfer students—and calls for the tuition to be held flat throughout that class’s attendance at UC. This means that undergraduates can expect their tuition and system-side student service fee costs to remain the same from their time of enrollment until they graduate, for up to six years.

* The U.S. Department of Defense Tuition Assistance (TA) Program requires that participating institutions charge tuition to TA recipients on a per-unit basis rather than as a flat amount per term. UCI Undergraduate 2024-2025 Tuition Rate: Per year tuition cost ($13,146.00) X number of years to complete program (4) = $52,584.00 / total number of quarter hours to complete program (180) = $292.13 cost per unit.

† The non-refundable eTech Fee is required of all students and is used to support the maintenance and improvement of existing education technology, and new services and capabilities. The eTech fee is listed separately as the charged amount varies based on the amount of undergraduate units the student is enrolled in and is assessed later in the term than the other fees listed. The fee is $4 per unit of undergraduate lecture course, up to a maximum amount of $60 (or 15 units) per quarter. It will be assessed after the third week of instruction. The $60 eTech Fee included on this chart reflects the maximum possible fee.

‡ The Document Fee only applies to new students and is not calculated in total amounts.

** A Writing Placement Fee is assessed for all first-year students, covering the cost of collecting, reviewing, assessing, and distributing all of the materials used to place each student into their first writing course at UCI.

‡ Incoming and transfer undergraduate students enrolled in the Summer programs starting on 7/25/24 will pay a prorated USHIP premium of $359.29 in addition to the fall 2024 premium of $884.37.

‡‡ The UC Student Association fee is a non-mandatory fee that undergraduate students are assessed during the fall, winter and spring terms to support the systemwide UC Student Association. Students may elect to opt-out and once the opt-out is elected students will not be charged the fee unless they change their election for a later term.
