  1. Proposed Program Fee Conversion Presentation before AD/ASG

  2. Why restructure? • Students being charged multiple program fees in a single term • Fees vary widely across schools/colleges • Students are not paying based on consumption of services

  3. Issue: Multiple Fees • Of the 9,680 undergraduate students charged a program fee in Fall 2011, 37% were charged 2 or more program fees. Undergraduate

  4. Issue: Fees Vary • Rates range from $18 per term to $50 per credit hour • Rates are assessed per term, per credit hour and per number of courses taken depending on the School/College and the career level of the program. • CLAS = $130 per term, CEAS = $50 per credit hour and SPA graduate courses = $93.02 per course

  5. Issue: Fees not always consumption based • Most fees are assessed where students pay a flat rate regardless of the amount of credit hours taken. • Students taking fewer credits subsidize the cost of instruction of the individual taking more credits. • If fee revenue is used to cover academic or career advising, non-majors subsidize the cost of services being provided to majors by their home schools/colleges..

  6. Proposal • Two part fee restructure for all schools and colleges on the CU Denver Campus • Per-credit hour instructional program fee • Major supplement fee

  7. Per-Credit Instructional Program Fee • Assessed based on # credit hours taken within a particular school/college • Consumption based • Covers costs associated with instructional support

  8. Major Supplement Fee • Assessed per term • Covers costs associated with major-specific expenses, such as academic and career advising • Charged based on the students declared Major. • Majors within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will pay a CLAS major supplement fee. A Civil Engineering major will pay a CEAS major supplement fee. • Exemptions to this fee include Pre-Business, Pre-Engineering, CLAS and CAM undeclared and CAM freshman.

  9. Current Instructional Program Fee Rates compared to Proposed Converted Rates

  10. Outcome • More transparent use of fees • Consistent application of fee rates • Consumption based model where students are paying for the services they are likely to use
