Program Participation and Fees
The Orientation Course tuition of $279 will be added to your student account (MyUCSC) as a “Summer Session Course Fee” and is due in August. Students may be eligible for financial aid. Eligible students will be notified directly.
Students that are canceled or withdrawn from the university will have all related online orientation course fees removed from their student account. Students that prefer to keep their one academic credit after they receive their grade are responsible for the full course tuition fee.
