STUDENT TUITION AND FEES


FY1999

Fees are classified as either mandatory or elective. Mandatory fees include 1) fees mandated by the Board for all University System students, such as matriculation fees and non-resident tuition, and 2) fees mandated by the institution and approved by the Board such as student activity fees, athletic fees, health fees, and transportation fees. Elective fees are established by the institution, approved by the Chancellor, and paid by the students who elect and/or benefit from the specific service such as student housing, food service, and special class fees. The Board must authorize increases in tuition and matriculation fees to bring the student's contribution up to 25 percent of the total General Operations revenue in the Resident Instruction budget. Students who do not qualify for resident status must pay both the matriculation and non-resident fees.
