“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 criteria approved by the board. The board must approve all mandatory fees.
Beginning in the 2024-2025 academic year, the board approved combining undergraduate mandatory fees into one Student Engagement Fee. As part of the simplification efforts, the board also approved rolling mandatory fees previously approved for graduate students into graduate tuition.
Student Engagement Fee
The combined amount is $1,794, including all the fees listed below. To be effective Fall 2024.
