BERKELEY - For the eighth year in a row, California residents attending UC Berkeley will see no increase in their educational and registration fees for the 2002-03 academic year and only a slight increase in their student health insurance and transit fees. The two percent increase reflects the addition of dental insurance to the students' mandatory health insurance plan and a student-approved increase in transit fees to cover a bus pass, called a Class Pass, for all students.

For in-state undergraduates living in residence halls, the cost of two semesters at UC Berkeley — including educational fees, mandatory health insurance fees, room and board, books and supplies, personal expenses and transportation — is estimated at $17,676, an increase of $750 over last year.
