University Fees Committee
The University Fees Committee was created in 1989 in response to the Arizona Board of Regents action transferring the authority for approval to the Provost for course fees and deposits of $50 and less. Effective July 1, 2018, the ABOR retains the control to approve all fees regardless of the amount.
The committee meets annually to review academic fee proposals and recommend appropriate action. Once the committee does a preliminary review, all submissions will be forwarded to the ABOR for final approval at their Fall tuition and fees setting meeting.
New: Mandatory Fee proposals used to be reviewed by the Office of Budget and Planning, but to increase visibility to all student groups, beginning with FY25, the mandatory fee proposals (new & modified) will be reviewed by the university fees committee.
