Fees for Visiting UC Students
Fees
The fee for a summer course is calculated based on the unit value the course carries. In addition to the course fee, students are assessed other registration and administrative fees during the summer. Below is a summary of fees that apply to visiting UC students.
Note: The non-refundable registration fee of $150 required for registration will apply toward your summer tuition balance within 24 hours of enrolling.
All fees are subject to change without prior notice.
Summary of Fees
Registration Fee | $150 |
2020 Course Fee | $279 per unit (undergraduate) | $349 per unit (graduate) |
IEI Fee | $61 per summer (undergraduate students only) |
Late Add Fee | $50 per class added after second week |
Fee Calculation Example
The following is only an example and is intended to help you understand how fees are calculated. Summer fee assessment varies depending on several variables.
If an undergraduate UC student enrolls in two courses that carry 4 and 5 units respectively, the total summer balance is estimated at $2,722.00 regardless of whether the two courses are in one or two sessions:
Summer Fee Calculation Example
Campus fee | $150 |
4-unit course unit fees | $279 x 4 = $1,116 |
5-unit course unit fees | $281 x 5 = $1,395 |
IEI fees | $61 |
ESTIMATED TOTAL | $2,722 |
Fee Descriptions
Instructional Enhancement Initiative (IEI) Fee: An Instructional Enhancement Initiative (IEI) Fee is assessed to students without a bachelor's degree and cannot be waived. For more information, visit the IEI webpage.
Material Use Fee: A small number of courses carry additional Materials Use Fees; the fee will be assessed to all students enrolled in any of the courses listed on the Course Materials Fee web page.
Housing Fees: If you sign up for housing, you will be assessed separately by UCLA Housing Services, not UCLA Summer Sessions. For housing fee information, please visit the UCLA Housing Services webpage.

Payment must be made by 5PM online or by 4PM if made in-person at the Payment Solutions & Compliance office in 1125 Murphy Hall.
Payment Delinquency
Failure to meet the payment deadlines as stipulated on the Summer Sessions website may result in one or more of the following consequences:
- Enrollment cancellations following the June 18 and July 30 payment deadlines
- Placement of a hold(s) on student records
- Delinquent fee assessment
- Collections activity
It is the responsibility of students to review their BruinBill accounts, to comply with the payment deadlines (see PAYMENT DEADLINE), and to accept the consequences for all summer enrollment decisions.
Notes:
Although the majority of students with delinquent balances will experience course cancellations on June 18 and July 30, not all students will be affected. Therefore, it is the responsibility of each student to drop any course they do not intend to take before the refund deadline; students will be held financially liable for the full cost of any course you remain enrolled in after the refund deadline, regardless of payment delinquency.
Courses dropped on June 18 due to payment delinquency may affect students who are enrolled in Session A and/or Session C academic courses. For those students included in this drop, all courses may be canceled regardless of session or remaining balance.
Courses dropped on July 30 due to payment delinquency may affect students who are enrolled in Session C courses. For those students included in this drop, all Session C enrollments will be canceled regardless of the remaining balance.
