Fall Quarter Updates
Student Business Services
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Fall instruction will continue to be conducted on a mostly remote basis. Student Business Services will still be practicing social distancing until further notice by keeping our offices closed to the public. We are still available via email at sbs@ucsc.edu and phone at 831-459-2107.
Please monitor our SBS Announcements and UCSC COVID-19 webpages for further updates.
Financial Aid
The Financial Aid and Scholarship Office continues to support students with any financial aid related questions. Due to the high-volume of changes and questions any financial aid adjustments may not immediately reflect on the student account. See Financial Aids update page related to current changes.
Housing
CHES AVC Sue Matthews announced further housing restrictions for the Fall quarter as a result of the August wildfires. More information about the new circumstances can be found on the “UCSC Housing Application – Action Required by 9/1” email.
Payments
All tuition and campus-based fees (excluding housing and dining) will remain unchanged for students enrolled during Fall quarter. Tuition and fees are crucial to supporting UC Santa Cruz staff & faculty that continue to support students remotely as well as infrastructure, financial aid and student initiatives.
Course fees are currently being examined on a course by course basis to determine which are still appropriate. Any course fee credits will be placed on the student account. Credits will refund once there are no other outstanding charges. If you have questions about course fees, please contact the department offering the course.
Miscellaneous fees are fees for services, and are only charged when the service is used. Units will post credits to students accounts based on whether the service was available and utilized.
The easiest way to pay any outstanding charges is online via our UCSC eBill/ePay site. More Information can be found here:
