Work-StudyYour Financial Aid cost of attendance (or "cost budget") is an estimation of the expenses you will incur as a student while attending the University of California, Santa Barbara*. Some of the figures used in the cost of attendance are averages derived from the Cost Of Attendance Survey (COAS) administered by the University of California, Office of the President, and updated annually for inflation. Some of these figures are fixed (such as student fees, non-resident tuition, and on-campus room and board). The cost of attendance is used to determine the maximum amount of Financial Aid in your award letter.
Notice Regarding 2012-2013 Figures
The tuition, fees, and charges posted here 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 State funding reductions. Accordingly, final approved levels (and thus a student's final balance due) may differ from the amounts shown.
