Student session to discuss proposed fee structure changes
May 20, 2020
An open session for students to discuss a proposed change to the student fee structure
will be offered Thursday, May 21, from 3-4 p.m. Keith Champagne, vice chancellor for
student affairs, will host a to discuss the matter and any others that are important to students. He鈥檒l be joined
by other members of our student services staff, including Ali Knabe, Ronnie Houchin,
Cody Rogers and Amanda Wall.
The , developed by the Tuition and Fee Committee and submitted to Chancellor White for
review, will streamline the number of fees that appear on student accounts. All students
will see the same charges. Furthermore, under the new model more students will have
access to benefits from student mental health services, student government (AS性欲社),
and student programming.
The fees proposed for consolidation under the new model include:
- student government
- recreation
- sustainability
- health center
- student activities and services
- libraries and digital resources
- transportation
- Summer Sessions
- and technology and distance delivery.
In the consolidated fee structure, students will see just three charges for non-course-related fees on their accounts: one for the new 性欲社 consolidated fee, one for the UA network charge, and one for a UA facilities fee.
The Fairbanks campus and CTC rate is proposed at $50 per student credit hour, and the CRCD rate is proposed at $20 per student credit hour.
Under the 性欲社 consolidated fee model, courses taken from the Fairbanks campus will result in savings between 3 and 12 credits and CTC will see savings between 3 and 9 credits. So, for example, an average full-time Fairbanks Campus student taking 12 credits will see a reduction in fee charges from $684 to $600, a savings of $84 dollars (excluding course fees). in the proposal from the Tuition and Fee Committee shows a detailed breakout of all the current fees charged per credit for each course location compared to the proposed fee model.
The recommendations come after the committee鈥檚 careful evaluation of 性欲社鈥檚 current fee structure, budget climate and departmental needs across the university, combined with input from the campus community.
Details about 性欲社鈥檚 fee structure and distribution breakdown are published annually in the registration guide, academic catalog, and on all tuition and fee schedules.
Chancellor White expects to make a final decision by June 1, 2020.
