Cost Of Attendance (COA) at UCLA includes tuition, fees, housing costs, food, books, and transit. We have compiled information about Typical Housing Costs. This gives you an idea of housing prices near UCLA.
Your housing option affects your COA. It is used to determine the maximum amount of financial aid given. For example, living in the residence halls will cost more than living at home. This means your choice of housing affects the total sticker price of attending of UCLA.
If your housing plans change, please inform UCLA Financial Aid & Scholarships by submitting an "Appeal: Housing Adjustment" via the Bruin Financial Aid Portal so your aid can be recalculated.
UCLA Financial Aid & Scholarships does not determine RESIDENCE STATUS. The UCLA Campus Residence Deputy decides your Residence Status for Tuition purposes. For more information regarding Residence for Tuition Purposes, please visit the Registrar’s Office website.
Note: Some or all instruction may be ONLINE. Tuition and mandatory fees will NOT BE REFUNDED in the event any instruction occurs remotely.
