Student Fees, All Campuses (Student Services, Health Services, Health Insurance)

(9) The chancellors have recommended selected increases in fees which support auxiliary operations and student activities, student health services, and the student health insurance program. Student Service Fee T h e student service fee at Urbana-Champaign provides for the cost of salaries, utilities, debt service, maintenance, and related expenses for services and programs at the Assembly Hall, Illini Union, Intramural-Physical Education Building, and Student Services Building. At the Medical Center campus, the student service fee supports the operation at the Chicago Illini Union, debt service requirements, student programs, student related expenses in the Union-Residence Hall complex, campus recreation, and student government. The student service fee at Chicago Circle supports the cost of student activities, intramural sports and recreation, intercollegiate athletics, the Chicago Circle Center, debt service requirement, and — as distinct from the other two campuses — the health service. Health Service Fee The health service fee at Urbana-Champaign supports the on-campus health services for students at McKinley Hospital and Health Center. A portion of the recommended increase in this fee for the next academic year represents the transfer of debt service and maintenance costs for the McKinley complex which heretofore have been assigned to the student service fee. T h e health service fee at the Medical Center supports the costs associated with on-campus health services for students. In addition, funds generated by this fee are used in part to reimburse the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics for the direct costs of laboratory work and clinic referrals. While the costs to support student health services at Chicago Circle are assigned to the student service fee, the campus assesses a separate pharmacy fee to meet the costs of medicine and drugs for students for prescriptions written by the campus health service. Student Health Insurance Fee At each of the campuses the student health insurance fee covers the cost of premiums paid to the insurance company and the cost of administering the program. Because of favorable claim experience during the current year, it will be possible to renew the current contract at no additional cost for the next academic year. The following tables present current and proposed fee levels for the programs described above:
