This fall, these students will intro duce $504,391 more per term to the University, thanks to an increase in per-term fees. The Oregon University System set a new tuition and fee schedule July 19 for the state’s seven public uni versities, and students at the Univer sity can expect to pay anywhere from $28 to $108 per term in in creased fees. Tuition will also in crease, but the amount depends on what time of day students choose to take classes. The new rates were set by the University after the Oregon Univer sity System granted them permis sion for restructured tuition. “Implementation of this propos al will result in an overall increase in tuition revenue for the UO while more equitably distributing the costs over part-time and full-time students,” according to a June 13 letter distributed by the Office of Academic Affairs. The two-tiered tuition schedule is part of a five year pilot program. For each departmental fee in crease, that department will receive the revenue. The amount of the in crease was determined “based on services they are providing for those resources,” Vice President for Acad emic Affairs Lorraine Davis said. For example, the revenues from the $15 increase in the technology fee would be distributed for both maintaining old equipment and buy ing new equipment, she said. Per student, per term Fee increases: «Architecture and landscape architecture • Resource for business undergraduates * Resource for business graduates - College of Arts and Sciences * Undergrad science intensive majors • journalism majors and pre-majors • Law resource $350* ■ Undergraduate matriculation fee $50 «Health services $ • Technology $15 Fee decreases; • incidental fee -$5 New Fees; • Registration $15 • Music school $60 • Education school $50 ■per semester . SOURCE GUS Public Affairs Office Running a university is very ex pensive, she said, and increased fees is just one way to offset that cost. One brand new charge is a $15 per term registration fee. This will go to “services for the banner system, for things like putting all courses online and updating online changes,” Davis said. The registration program was previously losing money, she said. The increases to fees and tuition were decided by a budget committee. “You always try to figure out the way to change the least amount and make it work while still maintaining access to high-quality, not mediocre, education,” Davis said. Every student, no matter what major, will pay the technology, reg istration, College of Arts and Sci ences, incidental and health fees, ac cording to a registrar employee. Together, the fees will cost an addi tional $53 per term for each student. That represents an increase of more than $1.17 million to the Universi ty’s budget. For new students, add the one time matriculation fee for another $244,850 in revenue for the Univer sity. If a student takes classes in the school of music, education, busi ness, architecture, journalism or law, expect another fee from each of those departments as well. The increase in enrollment “does present a considerable strain on re sources,” Associate Vice President Jim Buch said. Enrollment for fall 2001 was 19,091, while projected enrollment for fall 2002 is 20,300. In addition to the fee increases, there will be an average tuition in crease of 3 percent, but each stu dent’s tuition may range from a 6 percent decrease to as high as a 15 percent increase. Under the University’s new tu ition schedule, classes that begin at 3 p.m. or later are offered at a dis count from the rate for the 2001-02 school year. Students taking class es before 3 p.m. will pay a variable premium depending on the number of credit hours. These changes place the Univer sity as the most expensive public university in the state. For resident undergraduates, attending the Uni versity in 2003-03 will cost $390 more than enrolling at Oregon State University. Non-resident Uni versity undergraduates will pay $1,035 more than Beavers. Com pared to Portland State University, the University is $519 more expen sive for resident undergraduates, and $2,667 more for non-resident undergraduates.
