MemorandumTo: Board of Trustees

From: Robert Maxson, Vice President for Administrative Services Dr. Danette Toone, President

Date: 5/6/23

Re: Tuition & Fee Recommendation Academic Year 2014-2015

We recommend the Board of Trustees approve a $1.00 per credit hour increase in tuition for academic year 2014-2015 for all Cloud County students and a $2 increase for non-Cloud County residents. We also are recommending the following fee increases for 2014-2015:

1. $1 for registration fees

2. $1 for technology fees

3. $3 for Geary County Facility fees

4. Change the online fee from $75 per class to $25 per credit hour

If approved, these increases will generate approximately $118,000 in new revenue for College operations, $38,000 for on-going technology purchases and updates and an additional $23,600 for future lease payments for the Geary County Campus. This brings the Geary County Campus student facility fees up to $10 per credit hour which was the plan when the Science Building was constructed.

RE RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve a $1.00 per credit hour increase in tuition for academic year 2014-2015 for all Cloud County resident students and a $2 increase for non-Cloud County residents, a $1.00 per credit hour increase in general fees for all students, a $1.00 per credit hour increase in technology fees for all students, a $3.00 per credit hour increase in Geary County Facility fees for all Geary County students and a $25.00 per credit hour fee for all on-line students.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve a $1.00 per credit hour increase in tuition for academic year 2014-2015 for all Cloud County resident students and a $2 increase for non-Cloud County residents, a $1.00 per credit hour increase in general fees for all students, a $1.00 per credit hour increase in technology fees for all students, a $3.00 per credit hour increase in Geary County Facility fees for all students on the Geary County Campus and a $25.00 per credit hour fee for all on-line students.
