Changes in the Credit Hour Ranges and Tuition and Fee Schedules, Summer Session, Chicago

(13) T h e senate of the Chicago campus has proposed, and the chancellor has recommended, that, effective with the 1986 summer session, the Chicago campus change the definition of its current summer session credit hour ranges and tuition rates to correspond to those in effect during the regular academic year, as follows.1

Current Summer Session Credit Hour Ranges

Full Program Range I 8 quarter hours and above Range II 4 through 7 quarter hours Partial Program Range IV 0 credit only Range III 1 through 3 quarter hours

Proposed Summer Session Credit Hour Ranges

Full Program Range I 12 quarter hours and above Range II 6 through 11 quarter hours Partial Program Range IV 0 credit only Range III 1 through 5 quarter hours

Regular academic year tuition and fee rates, as established by the Board of Trustees, would apply to the summer session. Current summer tuition charges are 25 percent less than the regular academic year rate, but current summer credit hour ranges are 33 percent less than regular academic year ranges. This causes students to be classified in higher credit hour ranges with fewer hours, but the reduction in tuition does not offset those credit hour shifts. The effect of the discrepancy is that students often pay relatively higher tuition for summer courses than for comparable coursework during the regular academic year. T h e proposed change is recommended in order to make the ranges and rates more equitable for students and slightly more beneficial to the campus. The change is also intended to make the summer session more attractive to prospective students. T h e chancellor at Chicago and the vice president for academic affairs recommend approval. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r s . G r a v e n h o r s t , this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d .

Student Fees, Chicago and Urbana (Student Services, Health Services, Health Insurances and General)

(14) T h e chancellors have recommended increases in student fees which support auxiliary operations and student activities, student health services, and the student health insurance program for Fiscal Year 1987. The increases are required for continuing components (salaries and wages, utilities, general price increases, including food), debt service and repair and replacement programs, and base adjustments and fee equalization at the Chicago campus.

1 This proposal does not include the Health Sciences Center at Chicago, which operates on a year-round academic calendar of four full-length regular quarters.
