Use the Cost Estimator to estimate your summer fees, or use the following method: multiply the total unit value you plan to take by the per-unit fee, add the tech fee, then add the referendum fee for each session you plan to take.
*Note that for the per-unit fee, UC undergraduates pay for a max of 8 units and UC graduates pay for a max of 12 units. For non-UC visiting students, there is no cap.
For example:
UCR Undergrad taking a 4 unit course in session A: ($291 × 4 ) + $110 + $193.92 = $1467.92
UCR Undergrad taking the 12 unit Org. Chem Series: ($291 × 8) + $110 + $116.35 + $116.35 + $116.35 =$2787.05
