2005-06 Explanation Of Graduate Student Tuition/Fee Chart

Note: These amounts are subject to change.

The attached chart shows the various components of which resident and non-resident fees are comprised. These include: Registration, Educational, University Center, Recreation Facility, Graduate Student Association (GSA) and Health Insurance fees.

California nonresidents and international students pay non-resident tuition.

Resident fees and nonresident tuition/fees (for advanced and non-advanced students) are shown by quarter (F = Fall, W = Winter and S = Spring) and by quarter combination and yearly totals. In addition, programs covering partial fees (ICFG, TAHI and TAFE) are listed with quarterly and yearly totals.

NONRESIDENT TUITION: A graduate doctoral student will receive a 75% reduction in nonresident tuition rate beginning with the first quarter following advancement to candidacy and ending three years later. After three years, any student who continues to be enrolled will be charged the full nonresident tuition rate.

ICFG: The In-Candidacy Fee Grant (ICFG) is paid for those students who have advanced to Ph.D. candidacy and are within their Normative Time Limit. ICFG pays the Educational Fee, and is funded by the Office of the President. ICFG per quarter is $2,054/$2,054/$2,054 or $6,162/year for residents and $2,143/$2,143/$2,143 or $6,429/year for nonresidents. The chart shows the balance of fees or tuition/fees for a student eligible for ICFG.

Note: Students whose fees are paid from non-University fellowships, traineeships or grants are not eligible for ICFG. In addition, students who are hired as Teaching Assistants at a minimum of 25% have their Educational fee paid by TAFE rather than by ICFG.

TAHI: TA Health Insurance (TAHI) is paid for those students employed on academic titles for 25% time or more during the quarter. The Office of the President funds TAHI for state-funded (19900A) appointments. TAHI is $430/$430/$430 or $1,290/year.

TAFE: As with TAHI, students are eligible for TA Fee Remission (TAFE) if employed on academic titles for 25% time or more during the quarter. TAFE is funded by each campus and pays 100% of the Registration Fee and Educational Fee. TAFE per quarter is $2,299/$2,299/$2,299 or $6,897/year for residents and $2,388/$2,388/$2,388 or $7,164/year for nonresidents. The balance of fees due per quarter is $141.50/$141.50/$141.50 or $424.50/year.

OFF-CAMPUS (OUT-OF-STATE) STUDY: For those students studying off-campus, half of the Registration Fee of $245/$245/$245 is waived, or $122.50/$122.50/$122.50.
