Budgets are adjusted on an annual basis.  Mandatory systemwide fees and campus-based fees are subject to gubernatorial, legislative, Regental and/or campus action and may change without notice.  Actual fees may not be known until just before the start of the new academic year.  The fees include a $1,959 premium for mandatory student health insurance, which may be waived if the student shows evidence of non-campus coverage.  For current veterinary medicine student fee information, visit the UC Davis Budget and Institutional Analysis website.
