A nonrefundable $250 deposit is required of undergraduates when they return the Statement of Intention to Register (SIR) at UCSB. The deposit will be applied to the registration fee only if students enroll in the quarter for which they have been admitted.
Parking Fees
All vehicles parked on campus must display a valid campus parking permit on every day except administrative holidays. Quarterly and prorated annual permits may be purchased on the Transportation and Parking Services website (www.tps.ucsb.edu).

Course Materials & Service Fees
Students may be charged fees in some courses for the use, rental or consumption of materials, tools or equipment, or for the costs of materials or services necessary to provide a special supplemental educational experience. For example, course materials fees may cover the purchase of chemicals and glassware for a science laboratory or art supplies for an art studio class. They might also cover film rentals, field trips, or the purchase or rental of specific equipment. Courses that may be subject to the course materials fee are listed in the GOLD Class Schedule.
