Note: These figures for estimated living expenses are finalized just before the academic year begins, as it is based on the amount of time you are on campus for scheduled instruction. The finalized schedule could cause the estimated living expenses to adjust.
- Health Insurance*: Health Insurance: Effective Fall 2024, all UC Berkeley students will be automatically enrolled in the Berkeley Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) to meet the university’s health insurance mandate. Students may waive SHIP if they have comparable health insurance coverage that meets the SHIP waiver criteria. Students are encouraged to review the University Health Services website for more information on waiving SHIP.
- Assessed fees: Covers the tuition, books*, and hotel accommodations during core course sessions in terms 1-3 and immersion weeks. Participants and/or Sponsors are billed in equal amounts for each of the 5 terms. All budget items are subject to change by the UC Regents, UCOP policy changes, external or internal audits, or Congressional action.
- Books: “Due to a new federal statute that went into effect in Summer 2016, programs that bundle textbook costs with tuition are required to offer an opt-out. By opting out, students become responsible for acquiring all textbooks on their own after the syllabi are released. A waiver would then be applied to their assessed fees.”
- AB990 Disclosure: Information about the market cost of a one-bedroom apartment in the areas surrounding campus where its students commonly reside can be found on the UC Berkeley Housing Resource page (see Off-Campus Housing> Typical Rent ranges).
What are my direct costs?
Direct costs are items that are billed to your student account at the beginning of each term. These items include:
- Assessed Fees: Fees are charged by the university. For planning purposes, students should plan to make a payment by August 15 for the fall term and January 15 for the spring term.
What are my indirect costs?
Indirect costs are estimated expenses that are not billed to your student account. These items include:
- Housing and Food: The estimated expenses are based on the times you are on campus for instruction.
- Books, Supplies, and Other Costs: Reasonable estimates of course-related materials and educational-related expenses. Creating a budget and spending plan is key to managing costs.
If you are a recipient of a scholarship and/or borrowing loans in excess of tuition and fees, you may use those resources to help cover your indirect costs.
