The timing and methods of payment available varies according to your specific program structure—whether you are billed a program flat fee, a partial program fee and/or per-unit course fees. Please consult your program or department.

• Program Fees: Once you have been admitted into your program, you will receive instructions via email on how to pay your program fees, which are due at least 30 days before the program start date (if not earlier).
• Other Student Fees: Depending on your program, other student fees may be charged, including the Application fee, the CalCentral Term Access fee, the Student Services fee, UC Berkeley Extension Health Insurance fees, etc. These fees are nonrefundable.

• UC Berkeley Extension Courses: Course fees are due at the time of enrollment.
• Concurrent Enrollment Courses: You will receive an invoice one week after the course drop deadline. Visit our Fees and Payment page for more information.
