Student Union Fee on the Bruin Bill
What is the Student Union Fee Bill?
The Student Union Fee is a $69 annual fee — $23 per fall, winter and spring quarters — for both resident and nonresident students enrolled at UCLA.
Initially established as the Ackerman Student Union Fee through a 1958 student referendum at $12 annually, its purpose was to fund the construction of the Ackerman Union building, which opened in 1961. Since then, ASUCLA has undertaken many major improvements for student facilities and implemented further support for UCLA students, supported by the additional passing of the SAFE referendum in 2005, in pursuit of its mission to provide excellent products, programs, services and facilities for the UCLA community.
A breakdown of all UCLA annual-and-term student fees can be viewed via the UCLA Registrar’s Office website.
What does the fee cover?
The Student Union Fee covers payment for capital construction loans for various projects in facilities operated by ASUCLA; student community space such as meeting rooms and event venues like Ackerman Grand Ballroom; public space like lounges, restrooms, stairways and corridors; student wage support; and support for the Undergraduate Students Association and Graduate Students Association.
Approximately 4.2% of the ASUCLA operating budget is sustained by the Student Union Fee to support the aforementioned; the remaining 95.8% is derived from revenue generated by ASUCLA Student-Run Enterprises.
