Funding by Segment for 2008-09
Student Fees
UC and CSU Student Fees -When preparing their annual 2008-09 Budgets, the Regents of the UC and the Trustees of the CSU deferred final decisions on student fee increases. The segments have advised the Administration, pursuant to the provisions of the Compact, that undergraduate fee increases are necessary to augment the Compact's basic budget support provisions in order to maintain the quality of core instructional programs. The UC anticipates mandatory fee increases of 7.4 percent for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students, and additional selected professional school fee increases. The CSU anticipates fee increases of 10 percent for undergraduates, credential candidates, and other graduate students. However, as discussed in the proposed Budget Balancing Reductions section, it is possible that the Regents and Trustees will act to increase fees beyond these levels.
As currently planned by the segments, fees remain very competitive. UC's undergraduate fees would be only 86 percent of the average of comparable national institutions and the CSU's fees would be the lowest and only 53 percent of the average of comparable 4-year comprehensive colleges. Both the UC and the CSU would continue to set aside one-third of the increased fee revenue from undergraduate enrollments for financial aid, consistent with past practices in order to minimize affects on access for low-income students.
Community Colleges Fees -The Governor's Budget proposes no fee increase. Fees for credit courses will remain at $20 per credit unit. CCC fees remain the lowest in the nation by far and are just 26 percent of the national average. See Figure HED-07 for current and projected fee levels based on the workload budget and comparisons with other public institutions for all higher education segments.
