Professional Fees: UC Policy
Key Components of Current Policy
Professional Degree Supplemental Tuition (PDST) shall be assessed to sustain and enhance the quality of the professional schools’ academic programs and services
Revenue from PDST will remain with the campuses and will not be used to offset reductions in State Support (at UC Davis revenue remains with the Professional Schools)
PDST levels are approved by the Regents within the context of a multi-year plan that is subject to annual reconsideration.
Multi-year plans should take into consideration:
Resources required to sustain the academic quality and enrollment in the professional degree program.
Remaining competitive with other institutions of similar quality.
The cost of education for each specific degree.
Financial aid should be supplemented in an amount equivalent to at least 33% of new PDST or an amount necessary to ensure that financial aid sources are equivalent to at least 33% of all PDST revenue.
