It’s the time of year to review existing (non-academic or non-course) fees and/or request new fees.  Please browse your department’s existing fees at http://osufees.bus.oregonstate.edu/.  Changes to existing fees or new fees would be effective July 1, 2012.

Any changes to existing fees or requests for new fees must go through an approval process .  The deadline for Internal and External fee proposals is Friday March 16, 2012. Proposals submitted by the deadline will be reviewed by the University Internal/External Fee Committee (I/EFC).  Before receiving final approval, external fees must be made available for public review in the Valley Library for 30 days before a mandatory public hearing is held in June.

For any revisions or additions, a justification will be needed to explain how the fee was calculated.  A worksheet with the calculation could also be submitted.  Samples of Recharge Fee Calculation Forms can be found within the exhibit section of the FIS Manual. http://oregonstate.edu/fa/manuals/fis/003.

All existing fees must be reviewed annually, even if there are no changes.  Please confirm by March 1 that you have reviewed all existing fees, If you only wish to change the index or some wording within the description, please let me know by the March 1 date.

For assistance with University Fees, see the Fee Criterion section https://fees.oregonstate.edu/Public/FeeCriteria.aspx within OSU Fees Online.  This section contains Fee System Instructions plus links to informative policies.  If you have any questions, please contact Cindy Alexis.
