•Fees are based on the FY92 fee schedule and will be increased accordingly when the FY93 fees are approved. Access to units supported by fees will begin and end with the beginning of classes for the fall and spring semesters and summer session as is current policy. Because the new summer session is twelve weeks instead of eight weeks, the official start of the new summer session will begin the Monday after spring commencement in May instead of in June as is now the case. Students enrolled in Session I and/or Session II will have access to fee-supported service for that term by payment of fees. All students who advance enroll for Session II by the first day of Session I will have access to services for both Sessions I and II at no additional cost. All students who do not enroll in Session II are eligible to purchase service as is current policy. Assignment of a course to a session will be dependent upon its starting date and duration. Students enrolling in any course that begins during the first week of the summer session and is no more than four weeks in length will be assessed fees at the Session I rates. Students enrolled in all other courses offered during the summer session will be assessed fees at the Session II rates except when enrolled in courses that exceed eight weeks in length, in which case they will be assessed fees for both sessions. Fee waivers currently authorized for students and staff for summer session will be applicable for both sessions. All students enrolled in tuition range IV will be exempt from all but the general fee, as is current policy. Tuition and fees for special summer terms in law and social work will be adjusted as necessary. The prorated assessment of fees for both Session I and Session II is based on the fall semester fee structure. However, less revenue will be collected for the health fee and the general fee because Session II fees are being reduced. In order to compensate for the fiscal-year revenue shortfall, both fall and spring semester health fee and general fee will be increased. The increases will total $6 in the health fee and $2 in the general fee and will be phased in over 2-3 years to make them easier to absorb. The specific plan will be presented to the board when fees for next year are reviewed. In summary, the chancellor at the Urbana campus recommends that the summer session term on that campus be lengthened to twelve weeks and be structured into a four-week session and an eight-week session, and that the fees be prorated on the basis of the fall semester fee schedule. The summer of 1992 will be a transition year with intersession (Session I) students paying fees as specified above together with tuition at the approved rate; the adjustment in the academic calendar for the new summer session and changes in access to units supported by fees will occur the summer of 1993. I concur and recommend approval.

On motion of Dr. Bacon, these recommendations were approved.
