Laboratory Fees (A-24)
Original Implementation: June 29, 1981
Last Revision: April 22, 2008
Laboratory fees shall be assessed in an amount sufficient to cover in general the cost of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student. A department division or school may choose to average the costs over its total laboratory program and set an appropriate uniform fee. The basic fee is $10. For those classes where it can clearly be demonstrated that the value of expendable supplies is well beyond $10, a reasonable laboratory fee, not to exceed $30 may be charged.
Laboratory fees will be recommended by the department chair/director and approved by the dean of the college and the provost and vice president for academic affairs and published in the appropriate media. All fees will be reviewed annually at the department level for appropriateness and accuracy. New and changed fees will be submitted to the board of regents for approval.
