Fees
The University’s budget plan for 2010-2011 relies on increases in the following mandatory systemwide student fees and are recognized in the governor’s budget. The Regents will not be asked to set actual mandatory systemwide student fees until their March 2010 meeting. Certain campus-based fees are subject to CPI increases and increases related to projects and programs. For purposes of these fee tables, CPI increases have been estimated. The amounts on the 2010-2011 fee pages represent fees as currently estimated. As a result of gubernatorial, legislative, Regental, and/or campus action, these fees may change without notice.
