The linked inflation calculator doesn't go back that far,
but that even seems a bit high for 1956... maybe because it's for a private school.

I graduated in 1956 after 2 yrs full-time student at UCLA @ $35 per semester for California residents.

For perspective, back then, I used to type up my Dad's tax returns, and remember that as a
full time + a lot of overtime union electrician at General Motors, his annual income was just over $5,000.

I graduated in '56 after 2 yrs full-time student at UCLA @ $35 per semester for California residents.
But we did have minor lab fees and textbooks, and I think I still have a couple of them.
