University students face
increased per-term fees
Registration, technology
and individual department fees
are just a few of the current
charges being increased
Paying for college
Jenni Schultz
News Editor
Several programs this summer
provided many new students with
introductions to the University and
all of its intricacies.
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.

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.
