Details on fee payment, enrollment procedures, and deadlines are published on the Registrar’s website registration fee payment section.
BruinBill accounts are administered electronically (e-bill) through MyUCLA. Financial activity is displayed for the current term, as well as account activity for the last 24 months. Students can pay their BruinBill account electronically using an electronic check with no fee; or American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and VISA credit cards with a fee.
Although the exact cost of attending UCLA varies by program, there are some fees that all UCLA students must pay. Each entering and readmitted student is required to submit a Statement of Legal Residence and Statement of Intent to Register to the Graduate Division Diversity, Inclusion, and Admissions office. A student classified as a nonresident of California must pay nonresident supplemental tuition (NRST) in addition to other registration fees. Legal residents of California are not required to pay NRST. Annual graduate fees and NRST are published online. For more information, see Residence for Tuition Purposes in Policies and Regulations.
Students admitted to professional degree programs must also pay professional degree supplemental tuition (PDST), which varies by program. PDST amounts are published on the Registrar’s annual and term fees web page.
Students in self-supporting degree programs pay an annual fee, which may be assessed per term, course, or unit. For details, contact the individual program. Self-supporting program fees are published on the Registrar’s self-supporting fees web page.
Miscellaneous fees include charges for late registration fees payment. Late fees also apply if students file their study list late or do not pay off BruinBill balances on time. Fees are charged if any check is returned by a bank for any reason. Charges are assessed for most petitions and other special requests. There is also a fee for advancement to doctoral candidacy. Study list, document and service, transcript-related, and degree and diploma fees are published on the Registrar’s website fees and residence section.
All graduate students are automatically assessed for and enrolled in the University of California Student Health Insurance Plan (UCSHIP) as a condition of registration at UCLA. Continued enrollment in a qualified health insurance plan is mandatory during all registered terms. UCSHIP covers medical, vision, dental, and behavioral health services.
The UCSHIP fee is billed each term along with other UCLA fees. UCSHIP fulfills all requirements mandated for a qualified health insurance plan as defined by the University of California. The Ashe Student Health and Wellness Center is the primary health care provider for UCSHIP, and where all nonemergency medical care is initiated.
Nonregistered students (those who withdraw, or are on approved leave or planned academic leave) may have access to UCSHIP services under certain conditions. Contact the Ashe Center to learn more.
Students may waive UCSHIP if they maintain active enrollment in a qualified health insurance plan that meets all established requirements, apply for a waiver within established deadlines each term, and correctly complete the online waiver form. Students are responsible for providing complete and accurate information. Third-party individuals may not waive UCSHIP for a student. Waivers must be submitted before the term fees payment deadline. Deadlines are strictly enforced, and no refunds are issued after the deadline. For more information, see the Ashe insurance web page.
All fees are subject to change without notice by the Regents. Current academic year fees and update information are available on the Registrar’s annual and term fees web page.
Budgets are designed to serve as a guide and are subject to change without notice. Budget information is available from Financial Aid and Scholarships. Budgets for the schools of medicine, dentistry, and nursing are higher due to specialized supplies. More information can be found on the websites of the schools of dentistry, law, medicine, and nursing for their respective students.
