TUITION AND FEE PROCESS

The tuition and fee process takes place each year in the Fall.  This is a time for departments to request new fees or changes to existing fees.
 

A letter is sent out in the Fall from the Vice President for Administration and Finance notifying the campus when the Tuition and Fee Change Request forms are due to the Budget Office. 

These requests are for tuition and non-course related fees.  Once the requests are received in the Budget Office, a summary of the changes is made and submitted to the Student Government Association (SGA) and the Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) for recommendation.  Presentations are made to provide SGA with an understanding of the purpose for the request.  Once recommended by PBC, they are submitted to the University Council, the President and the Board of Regents for approval.

Town Hall Meetings are held to present any increase to Designated Tuition.

Course related fees are set by the schools.  The requests for course related fee changes are submitted to the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs.  The changes are summarized and also presented to SGA and PBC, then the University Council and the President. A revenue projection summary is submitted to the Budget Office for inclusion with other Tuition and Fee Requests presented to the Board of Regents.
