Application Fee

For US Citizens and Permanent Residents

The application fee of $70.00 is devoted to the administrative cost of processing all applications received, and is not refundable under any circumstances, regardless of the outcome, the date of filing, time of review, or if the application is withdrawn.

The application fee must be paid before an application can be processed. This may be done online, at the time that you submit the rest of the online application form. The nonrefundable application fee of $60 can be paid by credit card or by check. If you wish to pay by credit card, UCLA accepts the following cards: Visa, MasterCard, and Discover Card. If paying by check, please make checks payable to the Regents of the University of California. If a check is written for you by someone else, be sure your name and other identifying information (Social Security number, date of birth, department to which you are applying, etc.) appear on the face of the check.
