From the Student Fee Advisory Board:
In addition to tuition, every student at UMBC pays fees that support student life on campus. These fees are broken down into six categories: Athletics, Technology, The Commons, Transportation, Auxiliary Facilities, and Student Activities. Currently, these fees add up to a total of $2770 per year.
Every year, the UMBC administration embarks on a process to review each of these fees and assess whether to increase them or to hold them steady. These are fees that directly impact student life and as such, student input is a valuable component of the fee review process. In an effort to expand student involvement in this process, the administration has, in partnership with UMBC SGA, established a formal process by which students can voice their opinions on proposed fee increases.
Below is a link to the Fee Review Survey. It is an online form that explains the details of proposed fee increases and collects your input on how you feel about each fee and its related expenditures. Completing the survey will ensure that the administration hears your voice on the fees you pay.
Completing the Mandatory Fee Review Survey helps quantify student opinion and advocate for your opinion, which will make a much stronger impact on the fee review process.
