7. What About STUDENT FEES ?Fee Increases usually mirror the proposed tuition rangePossible increase of $19.50 - $27.46Proposed increase of - $25.40

8. STUDENT FEES Student Fees are administered, approved, and allocated under the direction of the Student Fee Allocation Committee. Fees are generally used to support student services and activities including but not limited to: student associations, athletics, campus events, student service programs, union buildings, intramurals, campus recreation, tutoring and academic support services, etc.

10. We didn’t’ know when fees were established, why they were allotted, or for how long

11. As the college has grown, the needs of the student body have changed, and the fee allocation procedure needed to change as well, as there was an uncertainty of how allotted fees were being spent

15. Each entity was invited to meet with the SFAC individually to review details of their request during February 2011

16. On March 3, these fee requests were reviewed and voted for approval or removal by the SFAC
