UCSC Staff or Faculty
You are a staff or faculty if you are:
- A career staff employee who has worked 6 months or more and completed probation
- A faculty and non-senate academic appointee who has worked at least 50% time for 6 months or more
- A former University employee who has retired within four months of the date of separation from University service
Take classes at half price! UCSC staff and faculty get a 50% discount on summer per-credit tuition to encourage staff to pursue professional and personal development. Staff are not eligible for the Pay for Only 10 program.
You do not need to be in a degree-seeking matriculated program to take Summer Session.
Staff and Faculty Campus Fee Waiver
-
We remove the Campus Fee from Staff and Faculty accounts. You pay the $50 registration fee, half-price of the per-credit tuition, and, if applicable, any material fees found in some arts and labs. When your bill is accurate in your portal, then pay your tuition.
-
The discount is for those eligible for the Reduced Fee Program during the academic year. Eligible courses do not include high-demand or full sections that UCSC students need. (but very few summer classes fill/close)
There are no audits or OLLI in Summer Session. Discount not applicable to student workers.
