CA Community College Discount

New! 50% Per-Credit Tuition Discount for current visiting California Community College Students in Summer Session 

  • Current CCC students attending Summer Session will receive an exclusive 50% per-credit tuition discount
  • List of eligible colleges

  •  This new discount is only for non-matriculated, summer-only visiting CCC students. Once transfers are admitted to UCSC, they can benefit from Transfer Edge (and the Edge Promise Award, if eligible).

Summer Session is the only time that anyone can take a UC Santa Cruz course, and we hope this tuition discount will expand access and increase affordability for CCC students seeking to earn UC credits and preparing to transfer to a UC campus. 

Eligibility:

  1. You must have a current CA community college email address and use it when you register 
  2. You must have a current spring unofficial transcript from a CA community college
