EMPLOYEE APPLICATION FOR REDUCED FEES

The employee should be a degree candidate, must file a regular undergraduate or graduate application, and be fully eligible for admission to the University.

Submission of the completed Admissions Application and related materials must take place during a regular application filing period. Each campus of the University has enrollment quotas that limit the number of new freshmen and advanced standing students that may be admitted. Once these quotas have been filled, additional applications may not be accepted. The application filing dates are available in the Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions Offices. For undergraduates, as noted in the circular distributed by Systemwide, the fall quarter applications filing period begins at least 11 months prior to the opening date of that quarter, whereas the winter and spring quarters have filing periods scheduled six months prior to their opening dates. Enrollment in some courses is subject to the approval of the instructor. Reduced fees are not available for Summer Session’s courses.

I understand that my enrollment is governed by  Personnel Policies for UC Staff Members, Policy 51 and/or the University of California Student Fees and Deposits Guide, Section 6.  Exemptions, Waivers, and Fee Reductions, which states:
a. An applicant must be a regular status employee  in a career position [has completed six months of employment and has passed the probationary period] (verified by the Human Resources Office) or an academic employee appointed at more than fifty percent time in positions other than titles where student status is a condition of employment and not represented by an exclusive representative (verified by the Office of Academic Personnel). Note: For staff and academic employees represented by an exclusive representative, the applicable memorandum of understanding should be consulted.

b. Payment shall be one-third of both the University Registration fee and the Educational fee in addition to all other required fees. (To satisfy this requirement student/employees receiving this waiver will not be eligible for the Reduced Fee Part-Time Study program.)

c. At the time of enrollment, an employee may take up to, but no more than, nine units or three courses per quarter, whichever is greater, and is ineligible for any reduced fees (waiver) if this limit is exceeded.

d. At the time of enrollment, selected nursing employees may take up to, but no more that, twelve units or four regular university courses per quarter, whichever is greater, and is ineligible for any reduced fees if this limit is exceeded.
