Student Fees: Student Fee Advisory Committee

Welcome to the Student Fees webpage. Student Affairs has created this webpage to empower students with the knowledge of what programs and services their student fees are supporting. Within this webpage you will find the summary of the mandatory fees students pay when they attend the University and background information for each fee. Also provided, when applicable, is referendum language, so that students can research the history of the fees they are paying.

Additionally there is a fee breakdown by fund, so that students can see how these fees are distributed to individual organizations, and how the funds are managed annually.

We have also provided links to the fees of other non-mandatory campus services as well. These links appear at the bottom of this Student Fees homepage.
