Higher Education Compact Funding Levels

In accordance with the Higher Education Compact, the Budget provides stable funding to UC and CSU for enrollment growth and basic budget support. In particular, the Budget reflects the following:

  • Fee Levels - Undergraduate fees increase to $6,636 (7 percent) for UC and to $2,772 (10 percent) for CSU. Graduate fees increase to $7,440 (7 percent) for UC, to $3,216 (10 percent) for CSU teacher preparation students, and to $3,414 (10 percent) for other CSU graduate programs. Despite these increases, fees at UC remain below the average of other comparable research universities and CSU fees remain the lowest among comparable comprehensive public colleges.
  • Enrollment Growth - The Budget provides funding for enrollment growth of 2.5 percent per year at the marginal cost of instruction. For UC, this growth rate represents an increase of 5,000 students. For CSU, the increase is 8,355 students.
  • Basic Budget Support - The Budget provides a 4-percent general increase to help preserve and enhance the quality of university instruction by addressing competitive faculty and staff salaries, health benefits, maintenance, inflation, and other cost increases.
