Student tuition and fees

Systemwide Tuition and Fee Levels

Beginning in fall 2022, the University of California will keep systemwide student tuition and fees at a flat rate for up to six years beyond a student's first enrolled term. This plan will provide cost predictability for students. Annually, UCOP publishes the Systemwide Tuition and Fee Levels which can be found on the UCOP website.

Fees Charged at the Campus Level

Campus-based fees and other costs, such as housing and health insurance, are subject to change each year. An overview of campus-based fees can be found on the campus website.

The difference between gross tuition and fees and net tuition is primarily scholarship allowances, including financial aid and fee waivers that are not paid directly to students.

Operating expense by natural classification

UC Davis' operating expenses were $7.5 billion in 2024, $7.1 billion in 2023, and $6.6 billion in 2022.

COMPENSATION EXPENSES

Salaries and wages have been increasing due to growth in full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) and merit increases. Pension and retiree health benefits variances are driven by actuarial adjustments which are impacted by market fluctuations and discount rate assumptions.

NONCOMPENSATION OPERATING EXPENSES

Other operating expenses have increased proportional to revenue as well as due to inflation.

Depreciation and amortization has increased with the completion of capital projects as well with the adoption of GASB87 in FY22 and GASB96 in FY23.

Operating expense by function

In addition to reporting expenses by natural expense type, universities present financial results based on function code. Understanding both sets of data are critical in evaluating financial results. Function codes are defined by the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO).

Overall, UC Davis' expenses have been increasing due to higher compensation expenses. The drivers behind the increase have been higher headcount, merit increases and changes in actuarial adjustments for pension and retiree health benefit expenses. Proportionally, the expenses by function code have stayed relatively consistent.

The percent of operating expenses spent by UC Davis Medical Center also increased in 2024 in relation to patient volume increases and operational growth
