“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 2024-2025 academic year, the board approved consolidating undergraduate mandatory fees into one comprehensive undergraduate Student Engagement Fee.
As part of the simplification efforts, the board is also considering rolling mandatory fees previously approved for graduate and professional students into graduate tuition. This item is pending ABOR approval, and a resolution will be reached in May 2024.
Student Engagement Fee (UGRD)
The consolidated annual amount is up to $1,747 (depending on the guarantee program), including all the fees listed below. To be effective in the fall of 2024.
