2009-10 Mid-Year and 2010-11 Fee Increases

As you may have read in recent news reports, the University of California Board of Regents at its September meeting discussed a proposal to enact a mid-year fee increase 2009-10 and a second fee increase for the 2010-11 academic year, as part of a series of measures to close UC's budget gap. A letter from UC President Mark G. Yudof to UC students and parents is available and has been posted on our homepage at

In his letter, President Yudof describes the fee increases and the steps we are taking to minimize the impact on our students and how UC students with a range of family incomes can make a UC education affordable. We encourage you to read this important message from President Yudof.
