Hello all. Does anyone know the cost of the UC application fee? And is it the same for all campuses or does it vary? Also, are there any fee waivers available? Thanks for the help!
Hello! The application fee for the University of California system is $80 for domestic students and $95 for international students. This fee applies to each UC campus you apply to, so, for example, if you apply to five UC campuses, you would have to pay the application fee five times.
Regarding fee waivers, yes, these are available! The UC system does provide an application fee waiver for students who demonstrate financial need. If you're eligible, you can apply to up to four UC campuses for free. Information on eligibility criteria for the fee waiver can be found in the UC application site. You can apply for the fee waiver directly through the UC application website when you're filling out and submitting your application. Hope this clarifies things for you! Don't hesitate if you have more questions!
