- Supplemental materials may be appended to the fee request for presentation to the Student Fee Advisory Committee, AVP Financial Management and President. Examples include a schedule comparing the requested fee to the same fee at comparable institutions, vendor quotes, or a history of the fee amount showing increases (decreases) by year. These are not required.
Requests for Fee Increases
- Before you request a fee increase, you should exhaust (i.e. spend) any excess of actual revenue collected over actual expenses and commitments.
- If excess revenue over expenses exists, you should demonstrate and support by appropriate vouchers that the anticipated increase in cost exceeds the excess of revenue over expenses.
- If the requested increase in fee level/range is due to anticipated decline in the number of users without a corresponding decrease in the cost, you need to support this argument with appropriate documents / vouchers.
