Cost of Attendance

Your 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.

Systemwide tuition and fees for 2012-13 have not yet been determined. Figures shown here represent the 2011-12 systemwide tuition and fee rates. The Regents of the University of California will discuss systemwide tuition and fee rates in July. Therefore, the figures shown here are subject to change; final approved 2012-13 tuition and fee levels may end up higher or lower than the amounts presented.
