Certificate Program Cost of Attendance
2015-2016
The Cost of Attendance is an estimate of the certificate fee, course fees and required textbooks needed
to complete a specific certificate program at UC San Diego Extension. This estimate may vary based on the
requirements of the specific certificate program chosen by the student. The Cost of Attendance estimate,
although reviewed quarterly, is intended to be used as a guideline to help you and the Financial Assistance
Coordinator determine approximately how much financial assistance you need to meet the costs of your
certificate program. Your actual costs may differ.
This estimate should not be taken as an official indication of financial aid eligibility. Eligibility for
Private Education Loans is determined by the lender. Please refer to the lender’s website for eligibility
requirements. Important: All estimated budgets are subject to change. Student is responsible for paying
any costs not covered by financial assistance. These figures do not include parking, transportation and
personal expenses.
