Cost of Attendance
The first step in determining your financial need is to estimate how much it will cost to attend UCSC for the academic year. The Financial Aid Office establishes standard budgets using statistical data from a variety of community sources including a survey of current UCSC students. Standard budgets at UC Santa Cruz include the following:
- UCSC Registration Fees
- On-Campus room and board charges (or Off-Campus housing and food)
- Books and Supplies
- Personal Expenses (e.g. toiletries, laundry, clothing etc.)
- Transportation to and from your home
Since financial aid is intended to help pay for students' educational costs and living expenses while they are enrolled, UCSC standard budgets do not cover living expenses during the winter, spring, and summer breaks.
The specific standard budget used by our office to determine your financial need will depend on
whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student and on where you will be living during the academic year:
- On-Campus budgets are used for students living in campus dormitories or in other campus-owned housing options.
- Off-Campus budgets are used for students living in non-campus owned housing and not living with parents or relatives.
- Commuter budgets are used for students living with parents or relatives.
