Although the exact cost of attending UCLA will vary according to personal habits, tastes, and financial
resources, there are some fees that all UCLA students must pay. Each entering and readmitted student is
required to submit a Statement of Legal Residence to the Registrar's Office. Legal residents of California are
not required to pay tuition at the University. Students classified as nonresidents must pay tuition of $2,566 per
term (for a full definition of residence and nonresidence, see the Appendix of this catalog).

The registration fee covers certain student expenses for counseling service, all laboratory and course fees,
athletic and gymnasium facilities and equipment, lockers, registration, graduation, and care and treatment on
campus by the Student Health Service. This fee is charged whether or not you make use of these services. A
duplicate degree fee of $2,000 per term is assessed to students admitted for a second baccalaureate degree
program.

Miscellaneous fees charged to UCLA undergraduates include a $50 charge for late payment of registration
fees (after the fee deadline) or late filing of the Study List (after Friday of the second week of classes) and a
$20 late fee if the UCLA Billing Statement has an unpaid balance in excess of $25. A $60 fine will be
assessed if any check for registration fee payment is returned by a bank (i.e., stopped payment, insufficient
funds, etc.). Minimal charges of $5 or less are assessed for most petitions and other special requests. A
complete list of fees may be found in the Schedule of Classes.

Students who formally withdraw from the University during the first five weeks of instruction may receive partial refunds of fees. For the refund schedule and more information, see Withdrawal in Academics section of this catalog or consult the Schedule of Classes for policy details and specific refund dates for each term.

UCLA recognizes the need for undergraduate part-time study in special circumstances. If you have ongoing
family or employment responsibilities or health problems which preclude full-time study, you may qualify for
part-time enrollment.

If you have approval from your college or school to enroll in 10 units or less, you may qualify for a fee
reduction. Nonresident students pay only half the nonresident tuition fee; residents pay half the educational
fee. You must file the Request for Fee Reduction form with your college or school by Friday of the second
week of instruction. Fee assessment is based on total units enrolled as of Friday of the third week of
instruction. If you receive the part-time fee reduction from your academic dean, you may not also use the UC
employee reduction; you must use one or the other.

Nonresidents must add the $7,699 annual tuition fee to their total expenses for an accurate estimate. Expenses cover the three regular session terms of the 1995-96 academic year and do not include Summer Sessions. The budgets are designed to serve as a guide and are subject to change.

It is not required that you come from a low-income family in order to qualify for financial aid. You must,
however, demonstrate "financial need," which is defined as the difference between the cost of attending
UCLA and the amount that you and your family should be able to contribute. The University expects that
students and their families will bear as much of the necessary cost of a student's education as their
circumstances will permit.

The Financial Aid Office publishes a Financial Aid Handbook which provides more complete information than this catalog can give. You can get a copy free of charge from the Financial Aid Office, A129J Murphy Hall, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1435.

One of the key assumptions of financial aid is that parents, to the extent that they can contribute, have primary
responsibility for financing the cost of a student's education. To permit an evaluation of need, all students
who apply for need-based aid must provide financial information on the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA). If you are financially independent according to financial aid guidelines, your own financial
circumstances are analyzed rather than those of your parents.

The FAFSA is used to apply for all federally funded programs, funds administered by UCLA, and Cal Grants
administered by the California Student Aid Commission. The FAFSA is available from California high
schools and colleges and from the UCLA Financial Aid Office, and should be filed by March 2. Be sure to
indicate that a report is to be sent to UCLA.

Continuing students may obtain UCLA Scholarship and Financial Aid Application Packets beginning in
January of each year at the Financial Aid Office. Continuing undergraduate students from foreign countries
may pick up a Financial Aid Application for International Students at the same office. No financial aid can be
awarded to international students in their first year of attendance at UCLA.

There are four basic types of aid: scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study employment. Since most
students are eligible for several of these, the Financial Aid Office usually offers a combination "package"
consisting of some funds that are a gift (scholarship or grant) and some that will have to be paid back or
earned through employment.

Unless otherwise stated, you must demonstrate financial need to qualify for aid, and you must be making
normal academic progress as defined by your college or school, your department, and the Financial Aid
Office (for a full definition of financial aid minimum progress standards, see the Appendix of this catalog).

Scholarships are gifts that do not have to be repaid. The Undergraduate Scholarship Program at UCLA
rewards academic excellence and promise and provides assistance in meeting the expenses of an
undergraduate education. Scholarships are expected to create opportunities for further academic growth and
development.

Financial need is a prerequisite only for University and name (endowed) scholarships other than those listed
below. Each year approximately $300,000 is awarded from the many different scholarship funds. Awards
range from $100 to $2,000 and are not renewable. You must reapply each year for continued consideration.
