Graduate students pay a number of mandatory
student fees that are not covered by tuition remission. These
fees help support a number of services on campus such as Shuttle
UM, Campus Recreation Center, Athletics, Clarice Smith Performing
Arts Center. To see where that money goes click on a
chart
of student fees that covers several fiscal years.
If you're having a difficult time paying all your fees up front, the Bursar's
office offers several
payment plans for distributing your fees over several months.
Descisions to increase go through two major steps. First there
is a campus committee that works with each of these service
areas. These committees review any proposed fee changes before
submitting recommendations to the Committee for the Review of
Student Fees. There are graduate student seats at both levels
that are filled through the Graduate
Student Government.
