Undergraduate Registration
Enrollment in Courses
Prior to the quarter for which they have been admitted, new
students will receive information from their college regarding
orientation dates, course enrollment, and fee-payment deadlines.
Enrollment materials will be provided at the college provosts
offices on the days assigned for new students registration.
New freshman students admitted for the fall quarter will be invited
to attend a new student orientation during the summer preceding
fall quarter.
New Student Orientation/Enrollment
Orientation programs are designed to acquaint students with
the nature, functions, and purposes of UCSDs college system,
and to show students how to deal with a variety of requirements
set by the university, college, and academic departments. Although
all six colleges have the same goals for students, each has developed
its own distinctive program. The professional staffs of Revelle,
Muir, Marshall, Warren, Roosevelt, and Sixth Colleges have designed
programs for their respective students and the students
parents.
New students will be made aware of the opportunities offered
by their college and the UCSD community as a whole.
All new students are required to attend an orientation
session, and they will be charged a fee for the program. Parents’ attendance
is optional and varies across the colleges, and a fee is typically
charged. Details will
be provided by the college.
Enrollment and orientation are two distinct and
separate events occuring at different times. All new students,
regardless of their college orientation
schedule, enroll
online (but not on campus) during the same enrollment period. The colleges’ academic
advisers guide students through this online process. Details of both the
orientation and enrollment proceedings are posted on the colleges’ respective
Web sites after the final publicized deadline for Statement of Intent to
Register
(SIR),
which is determined by the Office of Admissions.
In addition to the Summer
Orientation, students should attend Welcome Week–the
week before the official opening of the fall quarter and the beginnning
of classes.
Continuing Student Enrollment
Continuing students (those currently registered or eligible
to register) should refer to TritonLink for enrollment information,
dates, and fee payment instructions.
Definitions
Students are considered enrolled when they have requested space
in at least one course and space in classes has been reserved.
Students are not considered registered until they have both enrolled
in courses and paid registration fees.
Waitlisting a class does not constitute enrollment.
Enrollment is processed using WebReg in StudentLink on the
Web. Continuing undergraduate students are assigned a start
time, after which they may enroll in classes. Start times
are based on the number of units completed. Students who have
completed more units will receive earlier start times than
students with fewer units.
Students are responsible for all courses in which they are enrolled.
Students should check StudentLink/WebReg to confirm class enrollments.
Alternately, students may go to the Registrars Office and
obtain a printout of their class schedule. Students must make
any necessary changes by the Add/Change/Drop process (through
WebReg in StudentLink or in person at the Registrars Office)
or by appropriate withdrawal.
Adding, Changing, and Dropping Courses
After enrollment, students may make any
necessary corrections to their class schedules
on WebReg in TritonLink, through pre-authorization by departments,
or by submitting
an Add/Change/Drop Card in person to the Registrar’s
Office. Students may add courses through the second week
of instruction, or through the fourth week of instruction
with department approval. Please refer to TritonLink for
appropriate approvals required.
Students may continue to change grading options through the
end of the fourth week and to drop courses through the end of
the ninth week of instruction. Students who wish to drop all their
courses are required to file an Undergraduate Withdrawal form
with their college academic advising or deans office. Please
see the W (Withdrawal) grade regulation that applies after the
fourth week of instruction.

The Undergraduate Program
The undergraduate program consists of four four-unit courses
each quarter, or sixteen units per quarter, for four years. Students
must complete a minimum of thirty-six units in three consecutive
quarters in order to satisfy the minimum progress requirements
(see Minimum Progress in the Academic Regulations
section). Undergraduate students wishing to take more than twenty-two
units of credit in a quarter will need their college provosts
approval.
Approval for Enrollment for More than 200 Units
The minimum unit requirement for the bachelors degree
is 184 quarter-units in Revelle College and 180 quarter-units
in Muir, Marshall, Warren, Roosevelt, and Sixth Colleges. A student
is expected to complete the requirements for graduation within
this minimum unit requirement. The bachelor of science degree
may require satisfaction of additional units, depending upon the
students major. Candidates for B.S. degrees in engineering
are permitted 230 units (240 for engineering majors in Revelle
and Roosevelt colleges).
Under special circumstances, students may extend their undergraduate
training beyond the minimum. Non-engineering students who are
attempting to achieve more than 200 quarter-units will not be
permitted to register without their college provosts approval.
Other exceptions will be granted only for compelling academic
reasons and only with the approval of the college provost and
the concurrence of the Committee on Educational Policy. Transfer
units applicable toward general-education requirements or major
requirements are included in the maximum unit calculation; all
other transfer units are excluded. Advanced placement and international
baccalaureate units are excluded. (See information regarding Minimum
Unit Limitation in the Academic Regulations
section of this catalog.)
Enrollment and Registration Holds
A student may have a hold placed on his or her enrollment
or registration (payment of fees) and/or academic transcripts
for the following reasons:
- Failure to respond to official notices.
- Failure to settle financial obligations when due or to make
satisfactory arrangements with the Student Business Services
Office.
- Failure to present certification of degrees and/or status
on leaving previous institution(s).
- Failure to comply with admission conditions.
Each student who becomes subject to a hold action is given advance
notice and ample time to deal with the situation. However, if
the student fails to respond, action will be taken without further
notice, and he or she is entitled to no further services of the
university, except assistance toward reinstatement.
Undergraduate students wishing to have their status restored
must secure a release from the office initiating the hold action.
Reinstatement is not final until the registration process is completed.
Change of Address
UCSD has identified electronic mail as the recognized and
official means of communication by which university officials,
at their discretion, may send communications to students.
Such communications may be sent exclusively using electronic
mail. Students can use TritonLink to request and maintain
their university-assigned email address.
In addition, students
who change their local or permanent addresses are expected
to notify the registrar’s office either in writing or via TritonLink at
once. Change-of-address cards are available at the Office of the Registrar, 301
University Center. Students will be held responsible for communications from
any university office sent to the last address on record and should not claim
indulgence on the plea of not receiving the communication.
California Residence for Tuition Purposes
Tuition Fee for Nonresident Students
If you have not been living in California with intent to make
it your permanent home for more than one year immediately before
the residence determination date for each term in which you propose
to attend the university, you must pay a nonresident tuition fee
in addition to all other fees. The residence determination date
is the day instruction begins at the last of the University of
California campuses to open for the quarterand for schools
on the semester system, the day instruction begins for the semester.
Law Governing Residence
The rules regarding residence for tuition purposes at the University
of California are governed by the California Education Code and
implemented by Standing Orders of the Regents of the University
of California. Under these rules, adult citizens and certain classes
of aliens can establish residence for tuition purposes. There
are particular rules that apply to the residence classification
of minors. (See below.)
Who is a Resident?
If you are an adult student (at least eighteen years of age)
you may establish residence for tuition purposes in California
if: (1) you are a U.S. citizen; (2) you are a permanent resident
or other immigrant; or (3) you are a nonimmigrant who is not
precluded
from establishing a domicile in the United States. Nonimmigrants
who are not precluded from establishing domicile in the United
States include those who hold valid visas of the following types:
A, E, G, H-1, H-4, I, K, L, 0-1, 0-3, or R. To establish residence
you must be physically present in California for more than one
year and you must have come here with the intent to make California
your home as opposed to coming to this state to go to school.
Physical presence within the state solely for educational purposes
does not constitute the establishment of California residence,
regardless of the length of your stay. You must demonstrate
your
intention to make California your home by severing your residential
ties with your former state of residence and establishing those
ties with California. If these steps are delayed, the one-year
durational period will be extended until you have demonstrated
both presence and intent for one full year. Effective fall 1993,
if your parents are not residents of California or you were
not
previously enrolled as a UC student, you will be required to
be financially independent in order to be a resident for tuition
purposes. Your residence cannot be derived from your spouse,
registered domestic partner, or your parents.
REQUIREMENTS FOR FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE
You will be considered financially independent if
one or more of the following applies: (1) you are at least twenty-four
years of age by December 31 of the calendar year for which you
are requesting residence classification; (2) you are a veteran
of the U.S. Armed Forces; (3) you are a ward of the court or
both parents are deceased; (4) you have legal dependents other
than
a spouse or registered domestic partner; (5) you are married,
a registered domestic partner, or a graduate student or a professional
student, and you were not
claimed as
an income
tax
deduction
by
your parents or any other individual for the tax year immediately
preceding the term for which you are requesting resident classification;
or (6) you are a single undergraduate student and you were not
claimed as an income tax deduction by your parents or any other
individual for the two tax years immediately preceding the term
for which you are requesting resident classification, and you
can demonstrate self-sufficiency for those years and the current
year; (7) your parents are residents of the State of California;
(8) you reach the age of majority in California while your parent(s)
were residents of this state AND the California resident parent(s)
leave the state to establish a residence elsewhere AND you continue
to reside in the State of California with all your ties here
after
your parent(s) departure. (Note: Financial dependence will not
be a factor in residence status for graduate student instructors,
graduate student teaching assistants, research assistants, junior
specialists, postgraduate researchers, graduate student researchers,
and teaching associates who are employed forty-nine percent or
more of full time or awarded the equivalent in University-administered
funds, e.g., grants, stipends, or fellowships at the University
of California in the term for which classification is sought.)
Establishing Intent to Become a California Resident
Indications of your intent to make California your permanent
residence can include the following: registering to vote and voting
in California elections; designating California as your permanent
address on all school and employment records, including military
records if you are in the military service; obtaining a California
drivers license or, if you do not drive, a California Identification
Card; obtaining California vehicle registration; paying California
income taxes as a resident, including taxes on income earned outside
California from the date you establish residence; establishing
a California residence in which you keep your personal belongings;
and licensing for professional practice in California. The absence
of these indicia in other states during any period for which you
claim residence can also serve as an indication of your intent.
Your intent will be questioned if you return to your former state
of residence when the university is not in session. Documentary
evidence is required, and all relevant indications will be considered
in determining your classification.
General Rules Applying to Minors
If you are an unmarried minor (under age eighteen), the residence
of the parent with whom you live is considered to be your residence.
If you have a parent living, you cannot change your residence
by your own act, by the appointment of a legal guardian, or by
the relinquishment of your parents right of control. If
you lived with neither parent, your residence is that of the parent
with whom you last lived. Unless you are a minor alien present
in the U.S. under the terms of a nonimmigrant visa that precludes
you from establishing domicile in the U.S., you may establish
your own residence when both your parents are deceased and a legal
guardian has not been appointed. If you derive California residence
from a parent, that parent must satisfy the one-year durational
residence requirement.
Specific Rules Applying to Minors
Divorced/Separated Parents
You may be able to derive California resident status from a
California resident parent if you move to California to live with
that parent on or before your eighteenth birthday. If you begin
residing with your California parent after your eighteenth birthday,
you will be treated like any other adult student coming to California
to establish residence.
Parent of Minor Moves from California
You may be entitled to resident status and not be required to
establish financial independence if you are a minor U.S. citizen
or eligible alien whose parent(s) was a resident of California
who left the state within one year of the residence determination
date if:
- you remained in California after your parent(s) departed;
- you enroll in a California public post-secondary institution
within one year of your parent(s) departure; and
- once enrolled, you maintain continuous attendance in that
institution.
Two-Year Care and Control
You may be entitled to resident status if you are a U.S. citizen
or eligible alien and you have lived continuously with an adult
who is not your parent for at least two years prior to the residence
determination date. The adult with whom you are living must have
been responsible for your care and control for the entire two-year
period and must have been residing in California during the one
year immediately preceding the residence determination date.
Exemptions from Nonresident Tuition
Member of the Military
If you are an undergraduate student and a member of the U.S.
military stationed in California on active duty or the spouse,
registered domestic partner,
or dependent child, you may be exempt indefinitely from the
nonresident tuition fee. Graduate students continue to be eligible
for this exception only until they have lived in California one
year from the date they arrived in California with ties to the
state. You must provide the residence deputy on campus with a
statement from your commanding officer or personnel officer
stating
that your assignment to active duty in California is not for
educational purposes. The letter must include the dates of your
assignment
to the state.
Child or Spouse of Faculty Member
To the extent funds are available, if you are an unmarried
dependent child under age twenty-one or the spouse or registered
domestic partner of a member of the university
faculty who is a member of the Academic Senate, you may be eligible
for a waiver of the nonresident tuition fee. Confirmation of
the
faculty members membership on the Academic Senate must
be secured each term this waiver is granted.
Child or Spouse of University Employee
You may be entitled to resident classification if you are a
full-time university employee, an unmarried dependent child,
the spouse, or registered domestic partner, of a full-time university
employee whose assignment is outside of California (e.g., Los
Alamos National Laboratory). Your parents or spouses
employment status with the university must be ascertained each
term.
Child of Deceased Public Law Enforcement or Fire Suppression
Employee
You may be entitled to a waiver of the nonresident tuition
fee if you are the child, spouse, or registered domestic partner,
of a deceased public law enforcement or fire
suppression employee who was a California resident at the time
of his or her death and who was killed in the course of fire
suppression
or law enforcement duties.
Dependent Child of a California Resident
A student who has not been an adult resident of California for
more than one year, and who is the dependent child of a California
resident who has been a resident for more than one year immediately
prior to the residence determination date, may be entitled to
a waiver of the nonresident tuition until the student has resided
in California for the minimum time necessary to become a resident
so long as continuous attendance is maintained at an institution.
Native American Graduates of a BIA High School
If you are a graduate of a California high school operated by
the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs, you may be eligible for
an exemption from the nonresident fee.
Employee of a California Public School District
Any person holding a valid credential authorizing service in
the public schools of the state of California who is employed
by a school district in a full-time certificate position may be
eligible for a nonresident tuition waiver.
Student Athlete in Training at U.S. Olympic Training Center;
ARCO
Any amateur student athlete in training at the United States
Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista may be eligible for a waiver
of the nonresident tuition until he or she has resided in the
state the minimum time necessary to become a resident.
Graduate of California high school (AB 540)
A student who attended high school in California for three
or more years (ninth grade included) and graduated from a California
high school (or attained the equivalent) may be exempt from nonresident
tuition. For eligibility requirements: www.ucop.edu/sas/sfs/uctefaq.pdf.
Surviving Dependents of California Residents Killed in 9/11/01
Terrorist Attack
A student who was a dependent of a California resident who was
killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World
Trade Center, the Pentagon Building, or the crash of United Airlines
Flight 93. Eligible students must meet the financial need requirements
for the Cal Grant A program.
Recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor
Any undergraduate student who is a recipient of a Congressional
Medal of Honor or who is the child of a recipient of the Congressional
Medal of Honor. The recipient must be a California resident or
must have been a California resident at the time of his or her
death. The student may not be older than twenty-seven, and the
students annual income may not exceed the national poverty
level.
Maintaining Residence During a Temporary Absence
If you are a nonresident student who is in the process of establishing
a residence for tuition purposes and you return to your former
home during noninstructional periods, your presence in the state
will be presumed to be solely for educational purposes and only
convincing evidence to the contrary will rebut this presumption.
A student who is in the state solely for educational purposes
will NOT be classified as a resident for tuition purposes regardless
of the length of his or her stay.
If you are a student who has been classified as a resident for
tuition purposes and you leave the state temporarily, your absence
could result in the loss of your California residence. The burden
will be on you (or your parents if you are a minor) to verify
that you did nothing inconsistent with your claim of continuing
California residence during your absence. Steps that you (or your
parents) should take to retain a California residence include:
- Continue to use a California permanent address on all recordseducational,
employment, military, etc.
- Satisfy California resident income tax obligations. (Note:
If you are claiming California residence, you are liable for
payment of income taxes on your total income from the date you
establish California residence. This includes income earned
in another state or country.)
- Retain your California voters registration and vote
by absentee ballot.
- Maintain a Californias drivers license and vehicle
registration. If it is necessary to change your drivers
license and/or vehicle registration while you are temporarily
residing in another state, you must change them back to California
within the time prescribed by law.
Petition for resident classification
You must submit petition and documentation by mail or drop off
by the Registrars Office for a change of classification
from nonresident to resident status. All changes of status must
be initiated prior to the first day of class for the term for
which you intend to be classified as a resident.
Time Limitation on Providing Documentation
If additional documentation is required for residence classification
but is not readily accessible, you will be allowed until the end
of the applicable term to provide it.
Incorrect Classification
If you were incorrectly classified as a resident, you are subject
to a nonresident classification and to payment of all nonresident
tuition fees not paid. If you concealed information or furnished
false information and were classified incorrectly as a result,
you are also subject to university discipline. Resident students
who become nonresidents should immediately notify the campus residence
deputy.
Inquiries and Appeals
Inquiries regarding residence requirements, determinations,
and/or recognized exceptions should be directed to the Residence
Deputy, Office of the Registrar, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla,
CA 92093-0021, or the Legal Analyst-Residence Matters, Office
of the General Counsel, University of California, 1111 Franklin
Street, 8th Floor, Oakland, CA 94607-5200. No other university
personnel are authorized to supply information relative to residence
requirements for tuition purposes.
A complete version of the regulations is available in the Office
of the Registrar. Please note that changes may be made in the
residence
requirements
between the publication of this statement and the relevant residence
determination date. Any student, following a final decision on
residence classification by the residence deputy, may appeal
in
writing to the legal analyst within thirty calendar days of notification
of the residence deputys final decision.
Payment of Registration Fees
Billing Statement and Payment Information
Registration at UCSD is a two-step process:
(1) enrollment in classes and (2) payment of fees. You must enroll
first so that your fees can be assessed. You can pay fees anytime
after you enroll in classes. An E-Bill notice will be emailed
to your UCSD email address after enrollment; however, if you
wait to enroll just prior to the enrollment deadline, you will
not receive an E-Bill notice. Pay by E-check on TritonLink
or make checks payable to: UC Regents. Mail checks to UCSD
Cashier’s Office, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, CA 92093-0009.
Be sure to include your student PID number on your check and
include the remittance stub from TritonLink or the top portion
of your billing statement. Fees are due and payable by the
published deadline whether or not an E-Bill notice is received.
Your current account activity and balance are available on
TritonLink during normal TritonLink hours.
Your monthly billing statement
from the
university will list your charges and credits. Charges include
registration fees, housing, parking, and other indebtedness.
Credits include payments and, if you are a financial aid
recipient, the funds which are disbursed through UCSD, e.g.,
Pell Grants, scholarships,
and Stafford and Perkins Loans. Credits will offset against the statement’s
charges, and you will either pay the remaining amount on the statement or receive
a refund if there is a credit. If you have any questions about the entries,
use the phone numbers listed online to contact the appropriate office.
E-Bill
notices are sent to students’ UCSD email address and up to three
other authorized payers’ email addresses that the student sets up on
TritonLink. See www-act.ucsd.edu/go/ebill.html for more information on E-Bill.
If your fees are fully paid by financial aid or other programs
and you decide not to attend UCSD, it is very important that you
contact your college and initiate withdrawal/leave of absence
procedures immediately. Graduate students should refer to the
Graduate Studies section of the catalog for leave
of absence or withdrawal procedures. Failure to do this may result
in F grades being assigned to your courses.
Financial Aid/Credit Balances and Refunds
Student financial aid, graduate support, or fee waivers
awarded to pay registration fees will be directly credited
to your student account and appear on your billing statement
as a credit. Financial aid will not be credited to your account
until you have completed the enrollment process. Financial
aid recipients are expected to be enrolled full-time. Student
Business Services will refund all financial aid, including
outside agency scholarships and private loans, through direct
deposit. For those students who choose not to sign up for
direct deposit, refund checks will be mailed to the current
mailing address on StudentLink.
All Federal Perkins Loan borrowers must complete the information
sheet or references and Perkins Loan master promissory note.
Loan funds will not be released (credited) to student accounts
until
the master promissory note is signed. You may complete these
documents during your financial aid award and acceptance
process,
by going to the Student Business Services Web site: http://sbs.ucsd.edu,
or in person at the Student Business Services Office.
Loan Counseling
It is required by federal law and/or university policy
that all students receiving Perkins, Stafford (subsidized/unsubsidized),
or university loans have a pre-loan counseling session wherein
they are informed of the rights, obligations, and consequences
attached to the loans. These counseling sessions are called
entrance interviews. These sessions can be conducted online
and provide the student with an understanding of the issues
involved in receiving a loan. Also, all graduating students
and students who withdraw or take a leave of absence who
have received a loan must have final counseling before they
leave school. These sessions are called exit interviews.
At this time, students are individually told how much they
owe on student loans, what their repayment amounts will be,
and when their repayments will begin. In both sessions, all
counseling content and documentation is made available. You
may complete your exit interview by going to the Student
Business Services Web site: http://sbs.ucsd.edu, or in person
at the Student Business Services Office. Please call (858)
822-4SBS for more information.
Registration and Other Payments through the Central Cashiers
Office
Registration payments must be made by mail, E-check,
or in the Cashiers Office drop box as early as possible.
The Central Cashiers Office receives payments for all
university debts. The mailing address of the Cashiers
Office is: Central Cashiers Office, UCSD, 9500 Gilman
Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093-0009. (Make checks or money
orders
payable to UC Regents.)
Indebtedness Counseling and STUDENT BUSINESS SERVICES
Hold Releases
Entering college for the first time can be an overwhelming
experience. And part of that experience is learning to handle
your own finances. Most students have no real problem, but
sometimes things can get out of control. Student Business
Services staff members will counsel you on campus indebtedness
which you may have already incurred and how to prevent such
conditions in the future. It is the policy of the University
of California that no student can continue in the next academic
quarter if that individual owes the university money. Consequently,
when a student owes the university money, an automatic hold prevents him or her from future registration, and from receiving
financial aid and transcripts until the bill is paid. It
is recognized that there are occasional problems and situations
which may be taken into account. On occasion, after counseling,
the Student Business Services Office may authorize
a Time Payment Agreement (TPA) with a student.
Triton Registration Installment Plan
The UCSD Triton Registration Installment Plan (TRIP) is available
for students who desire an alternative method of financing their
registration fees on a short-term basis. All students in good
financial and academic standing are eligible for the program,
except for those students whose financial aid or graduate support
will pay their registration fees. A prerequisite to apply
for the program is enrollment for the term. The Triton Registration
Installment Plan allows registration fees to be paid in up to
three installments each quarter. On a three-month plan, the first
payment is required by the quarterly registration due date. The
remaining payments are itemized on the student’s next two
monthly UCSD Billing Statements. There is a $30 per quarter nonrefundable
application fee for California residents and a $45 quarterly
nonrefundable application fee for nonresidents that must be submitted
with the first payment. This fee is used strictly to offset the
costs of the program. Students may enroll online using TritonLink.
Location
The Student Business Services (SBS) Office is located in Building
201 in the University Center, across the street from the Office
of Admissions and Registrar. The Central Cashiers Office
is at the intersection of Myers and Rupertus Drives in Building
401 University Center.
Office Hours
The Central Cashier’s Office is open from
8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Student Business
Services Office is open from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday
through Friday, except on Thursday, when the office opens at 10:00 a.m.
Deadlines and Penalty Fines
Students should refer to StudentLink for actual deadline dates.
All prior delinquent debts must also be paid. Health insurance
is mandatory for all students, both graduate and undergraduate,
as a condition of enrollment. All students will be assessed the
cost of the policy provided by the campus. Undergraduates who
already have adequate health insurance should access StudentLink
to request a waiver of this premium. An additional charge will
be made for failure to pay required fees or deposits by the dates
announced in this catalog and on StudentLink. Please note that
students who enroll in courses but fail to pay fees by the published
deadline will be assessed a late payment fee. Students who fail
to enroll in courses prior to the enrollment deadline will be
assessed a late enrollment fee and a late payment fee. Currently
these fines are $50 each. (See Miscellaneous Expenses
on the next page.)
With the exception of appeals to the legal analyst regarding
a students residence classification, no claim for remission
of fees will be considered unless such claim is presented during
the fiscal year to which the claim is applicable.
Receipts are issued for all payments made in person at the
Central Cashier's Office, and these should be carefully preserved.
No student will be entitled
to
a refund
except after
surrender to the Cashiers Office of the students
original receipt, if issued, or canceled check or money order
receipt.
Exemption from Fees
Except for miscellaneous fees and service charges, no fees of
any kind are assessed any surviving child of a California resident
who was an active law enforcement or active fire suppression official
and who was killed in the performance of active duties or died
as a result of an accident or injury caused by external violence
or physical force incurred in the performance of such duties.
No fees of any kind are assessed a student who was a dependent
of a California resident who was killed in the September 11, 2001
terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon Building,
or the crash of United Airlines Flight 93. Eligible students must
meet the financial need requirements for the Cal Grant A program.
No fees of any kind are assessed any undergraduate student who
is a recipient of a Congressional Medal of Honor or who is the
child of a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. The
recipient must be a California resident or must have been a California
resident at the time of his or her death. The student may not
be older than twenty-seven, and the students annual income
may not exceed the national poverty level.
Students who believe themselves entitled to one of these exemptions
must apply for a fee exemption at the Office of the Registrar
before registering. Without this authorization, students will
not be permitted to register without payment of the entire fee.
Graduate students should apply to the dean of Graduate Studies.
Nonresident Tuition
Students who have not established and maintained California
residence for at least one year immediately prior to the residence
determination date for the term during which they propose to attend
the university, and who do not otherwise qualify for resident
classification under California law, are charged, along with other
fees, a nonresident tuition fee each quarter. The residence determination
date is the day instruction begins at the last of the University
of California campuses to open for the quarter. Final classifications
are made by the residence deputy, who is located in the registrars
office, on the basis of a Statement of Legal Residence completed
by the student and signed under oath. Prospective students who
have questions regarding their residence status should consult
the General Catalog or contact the residence deputy.
University Registration Fee
The university registration fee is $765 per year for undergraduates
and must be paid at the time of registration. It covers services
that benefit the student and are complementary to, but not a
part of, the instructional program, and it includes recreational
activities,
student organizations, and the Student Health Service. No part
of this fee is refunded to students who do not make use of these
privileges.
In addition, there is a campus activity fee of $63 per
year for undergraduates, a university center fee of $112.50
per
year for all students to be used for the construction and
operation of the student centers, and a $276 per year recreational
facility fee. Note: Fees are subject to change. Please refer
to Tritonlink for
the most current fee information.
Educational Fee
The educational fee was established by the regents for
all students beginning fall quarter 1970. The educational
fee

Part-Time Study at the University of California
General Policy
- Degree programs in the university may be open to part-time
students wherever good educational reasons exist for so doing.
- No majors or other degree programs will be offered only for
part-time students, except as specifically authorized by the
Academic Senate.
- For the purposes of this statement of policy and procedures,
the following definition applies:
A part-time undergraduate student is one who is approved to
enroll for ten units or fewer, or an equivalent number of courses,
per quarter.
Admissions and Enrollment
- The same admissions standards that apply to full-time students
will apply to part-time students.
- Approval for individual students to enroll on a part-time
basis will be given for reasons of occupation, family responsibilities,
health, or, for one quarter only, graduating senior status.
- Approval to enroll as a part-time student shall be given
by the appropriate dean or provost.
- Students must apply for part-time study prior to the end of
the second week of the quarter and must be enrolled in ten or
fewer units at that time (including any units taken through
UCSD Extension) to qualify for reduced fees.
Procedures
Students must apply for part-time status on the Part-Time Study
application form available at their colleges prior to the end
of the second week of the quarter. Approval for part-time study
is granted for one academic year onlyfall through spring
quarters, winter through spring quarters, or spring quarter only.
Students must reapply for approval each fall quarter and substantiate
reasons for request. Approval for part-time study will automatically
exempt students from the thirty-six unit-per-year minimum progress
requirement. Students who are receiving financial assistance should
contact their college financial aid office regarding eligibility
requirements.
Reduced Fees
Undergraduate students who have been approved for part-time
study and who are enrolled in ten units or fewer at the end of
the second week of classes are eligible for a reduction of one-half
of the educational fee and one-half of nonresident tuition, if
applicable. Students who drop to ten or fewer units after this
date will receive no reduction, and any student who receives a
reduction in fees will be billed for the difference if the number
of units increases to ten and one-half or more anytime in the
quarter.
Undergraduates enrolled in Education Abroad and other special
programs are excluded from this reduced fee policy. Employees
of the university enrolled as students in the Employee Program
have fees reduced by waiver from the Personnel Office and are
not eligible to receive this further reduction. Extension courses
taken by students in the Complimentary Enrollment Program will
be included in the unit count whether or not the credit is accepted
as part of a university degree program. Questions concerning this
policy may be addressed to the Office of the Registrar.
