Third Party Payers

Students with a third party paying their fees should contact the Summer Session Office at (858) 822-5064 prior to enrolling in a Summer Session course.

UCSD Employee Discount

Eligible employees may receive a 25% discount on the per unit fees for up to two open enrollment courses per session.

The discount is limited to UCSD Staff only. Spouse and/or dependents are no longer eligible for the Summer Session discount.

To be eligible, Staff must have completed their six-month probation period and have a career appointment of 50% time or a casual appointment of 100%.

The non-refundable application fee, lab/computer fees, course material fee, and other fees are not included in the discount.

The employee discount can only be applied to course unit fees for open enrollment summer session courses. An open enrollment course is a course that is generally open to all students that meet the prerequisites. Special programs such as a Masters Degree program in Education Studies are not eligible.

All Staff requesting an employee discount must contact Summer Session at summer@ucsd.edu and provide their Staff ID number, their supervisor's name and contact information. Summer Session staff will verify eligibility and contact the employee once the discount is applied. Please do not enroll in classes prior to obtaining the discount. This may result in a significant delay in the application of the discount to your account.

Billing Statements

Summer Session fees are due according to the payment schedule on the deadlines page. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of fee amounts and payment deadlines and to avoid late fees or being dropped from courses for non-payment of full fees.  See the Session I, Session II and Special Session calendars for details.

Postmarks are not accepted as proof of timely payment. Allow a minimum of 7 to 10 working days for any mailed payment to be received and processed by the Central Cashiers.

Billing statements are mailed by Student Billing Services to the mailing address given on the student application and may not be received by the payment deadline date for summer courses. Students are responsible for paying their fees by the deadline.

Enrollment and course fees are the same for both California residents and non-residents. Any unpaid account balances or obligations such as tuition, library or parking fines, and loans to the University will result in a hold on grades and financial records until such accounts are cleared.

Late Fee Penalty Payments

Students may enroll and pay fees after the fee deadline (June 11 for Session I and July 9 for Session II); however, a $50 late enrollment fee and a $50 late registration fee are assessed. If course and enrollment fees are not paid in full by the deadline, the student's enrollment in all courses for that session are cancelled for non-payment. Late enrollment and late registration fees are non-refundable.  Also, please note, classes are not held for students. If you are cancelled from a course, and you want to re-enroll, you'll be placed on a waitlist if the course is full. If you want to re-enroll, use Web Reg up to July 4 for Session I and August 8 for Session II if space is available. Fees are due when you enroll in a course if you are enrolling after June 11 for Session I and July 9 for Session II. See the Session I, Session II and Special Session calendars for details.

Fee Waiver/Refund Policy

Students can request a fee waiver if the reason for the request involves: death of a family member, medical emergency, military deployment, or a university error.

Automatic Cancellation of Course Enrollment

If you are not a UCSD financial aid student. You must pay all outstanding fees by the fee deadline or your enrollment in all courses will be cancelled. This cancellation of enrollment process opens seats for other students to enroll and allows time for instructors to plan for instruction. Students are notified via email if they are cancelled for non-payment. Notification is sent to the email address provided on the on-line application.
