<p>Hi everyone. I'm a new member on this site, and the sole purpose of why I've singed up is because of something that truly is bothering me and confusing me about the OOS tuition cost of UCSB. I am soon to graduate from high school and I've been on the collage hunt for quite a while now. I narrowed down my options to a few universities in the states and learned everything I could about them. Being an OOS student will definitely make my tuition fees higher, but something is bothering me about UCSB. The official UCSB site sent me to a new page which lets me complete a sort of options that will display my cost of attendance, and so it turned out that the cost for OOS is around $22,000. Later on I started researching more about it, and different sites(including collegeboard) showed me that the tuition is around $36,000. I've been so confusing about this for the past several weeks and so I've decided to join this site for help. Does anyone know what the actual price actually is? </p>

<p>PS: Cost</a> of Attendance - UCSB Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships is the link the UCSB site sent me to and gave me the price of $22,000.</p>

<p>I just tried finding the cost of attendance, selecting OOS undergrad and I see that they list two tuition fees.</p>

<p>One called Triton: $12192, and one called Non Resident Tuition Fee: $22021</p>

<p>Both of these costs are included into the total cost of attendance ($55221), so the actual OOS Tuition would be the sum, or $34,213. Perhaps that is where collegeboard gets their $36K</p>

<p>$12,192 is the usual tuition and $1,468 is the usual fees, paid by all. $22,201 is the additional non-resident tuition and $867 is the additional non-resident fees.</p>

<p>All of that added together would be the typical “out of state tuition and fees”. Then add room, board, books, etc. to get the total list price cost of attendance for out of state students.</p>

<p>Calif schools can be confusing to OOS students since instead of having one tuition price set for OOS students, Calif publics charge the “instate rate PLUS the OOS rate” and that’s the total “tuition”. </p>

<p>So, the above posters are very correct. Some UCs will give some aid to OOS students but not beyond the instate costs. And, the aid will include loans.</p>
