Mandatory Fees

“Mandatory fees” means fees charged to students for a specific purpose, activity, or service. Mandatory fees can be university-wide or differentiated by campus location, delivery method, enrollment level, or other board-approved criteria. The board must approve all mandatory fees.

Beginning in the academic year of 2024-2025, all undergraduate mandatory fees were combined into a single comprehensive fee known as the Student Engagement Fee. However, the Arizona Financial Aid Trust (AFAT) mandatory fee was legislatively enacted and cannot be combined with any other fees for undergraduate or graduate students. 

The board has also approved including mandatory fees for graduate and professional students in graduate tuition as part of its efforts to simplify the process.
