SAN FRANCISCO – The University of California Board of Regents voted Wednesday to increase supplemental tuition levels for the UCLA School of Nursing and the UC’s three other nursing programs.
UC nursing students will have to pay $618 more starting Aug. 1, bringing the total supplemental tuition up 8 percent to $8,358.
The regents also voted at their bimonthly meeting Wednesday to set tuition rates for four new professional degree programs at UC Davis, Santa Cruz, Berkeley and San Francisco.
The changes will affect roughly 810 UCLA nursing students, according to Daily Bruin archives.
According to the regents agenda item, members of the University’s leadership team previously met with students and faculty, about the tuition levels, who “indicated an understanding of the need for increased fees to cover the cost of didactic and clinical courses.”
