Editor's Notes

  • #14 Invite your administration to discuss tuition and fees early in the year. Provide multiple possible opportunities if your calendars aren’t aligning.Try to meet more than once per semester. The more information you can obtain will improve your knowledge of the process as well as help you represent your student constituents better.Ask questions about tuition and fees, projected enrollment and expense calculations.Ask for documentation such as presentation slides, spreadsheets, and contact information.Encourage your students to let the administration know what they like and what they don’t .
  • #15 Higher Tuition for different programs (i.e. Nursing)Higher Tuition for Online Courses
  • #16 Includes dates, timeline, and discussion topics.May contain your campuses Student Senate stance on the administrations recommendation.
