Fee Descriptions

Tuition and Enrollment Fee

Refundable: Yes. Learn more about refunds.

Tuition and enrollment fees are charged per unit of enrollment. These fees are set by the State of California and are subject to change at any time. Students who have registered for classes prior to an increase may be required to pay the additional amount.

Foreign Student Application Fee

Refundable: No.

The foreign student application fee applies to all international students. Some international students may be exempt from paying this fee if they demonstrate economic hardship. Read Regulation R-2251 Nonresident and International Student Fees to learn more.

Student Representation Fee

Refundable: Yes.

The student representation fee supports student government in its effort to advocate and lobby for legislative issues that affect students.

$1 of every $2 fee supports the operations of a statewide community college student organization that is recognized by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges (Assembly Bill 1504). This statewide organization provides for student representation and participation in state-level community college shared governance as well as governmental affairs representatives to advocate before the legislature and other state and local governmental entities.

Students can refuse to pay this fee based on moral, religious, political, or financial grounds. To be exempted from paying the fee, submit the Student Representation Fee Exemption Form, preferably before you pay your fees.

This fee was established under provision of California Education Code section 76060.5 and California Code of Regulations, Title V, sections 54801-54805.

Health Services Fee

Refundable: Yes.

In a remote environment, the health services fee provides access to virtual health and mental health services as well as virtual mental health counseling by local mental health counselors. College nurses are available by appointment for phone or email advice and referrals to community resources as needed. College nurses will offer remote health and wellness educational offerings throughout the semester along with virtual health fairs.

The following students may be exempted from the health services fee if they submit the Health Services Fee Exemption Form before the last day of the semester:

Students who depend exclusively upon prayer for healing in accordance with the teachings of a bona fide religious sect, denomination, or organization
Students who receive California College Promise Grant (formerly BOG Fee Waiver) Part A

The following students are not charged the health services fee:

Students only enrolled in UC Davis Co-Op program courses

Universal Transit Pass (UTP) Fee

Refundable: Yes. Learn about refunds.

The Universal Transit Pass (UTP) is available to certain students for use on Regional Transit (RT) services, including buses and light rail. All eligible students are charged the UTP fee, regardless of whether or not they use the pass.

The UTP is available electronically via SacRT's mobile fare app, ZipPass. Learn how to download and use ZipPass.

Visit the Sacramento Regional Transit website for a list of all transit and bus systems that accept the UTP. UC Davis Unitrans does not accept the UTP.

Eligibility

Students taking one or more units during the spring or fall semester are eligible for the UTP. All students are eligible for the UTP in the summer semester, regardless of how many units they take.

Some students are not eligible for the UTP and therefore are not charged the fee. These students include:

Students enrolled in apprenticeship programs
Students taking classes on the UC Davis main campus
Students studying abroad
High school students attending a Los Rios college through dual enrollment or concurrent enrollment
Incarcerated students inside correctional facilities
