Redefining Summer Session and Adjusting Fee Assessment, Urbana

(3) On April 11, 1991, a new tuition structure for summer session and intersession was approved by the Board of Trustees. The chancellor at Urbana now recommends that a new fee structure be adopted as a companion piece to the tuition structure. The proposed fee structure relates to a change in the definition of summer session and will complete the process of restructuring summer session to better meet the educational needs of students. On April 20, 1979, the Board of Trustees approved a prorated fee structure for intersession provided that it was offered on an experimental basis. However, fees were never assessed to intersession students who had been enrolled during the spring semester because intersession was an extension of the spring semester with regard to access to student services. Over the past ten years, intersession has changed from a session for speciality courses to a regular summer term which is administered through the Summer Session office. The term has now become a regular part of the academic calendar, having been expanded from a three-week to a four-week session that enrolled 706 students during the summer of 1991. It is anticipated that interest in the term will continue to grow. It is now proposed that intersession be incorporated into summer session by lengthening summer session from eight weeks to twelve weeks, eliminating the name "intersession," and establishing two summer sessions, one of four weeks and a second of eight weeks. Fees for student services during the new summer session will be prorated by the number of weeks in the term on the basis of the fall semester fee structure. Fees for Session I (4 weeks) will be assessed at one-fourth the fall semester (16 weeks) rate and fees for Session II (8 weeks) will be assessed at one-half the fall semester (16 weeks) rate. However, the general fee is used for long-term commitments tied to bonded indebtedness, and it is important that the amount generated during the summer not be reduced. Therefore, the Session I fee will be assessed at one-third the fall semester rate and Session II fee at the two-thirds rate. The assessment of the health insurance fee will not change. The following table provides an example of how the new fee structure would look based upon the Fiscal Year 1992 fee rates.
