MTSU made a request of the Tennessee Board of Regents to increase the Program Service Fee by $144 for the 2007 fall semester.
"We condensed all of the individual fees students paid for things like Health Services and the Recreational Center into one fee so that it was easier to publicize; the Program Service Fee," said Mike Gower, associate vice president for business and finance.
The main reason for the increase was to aid in the costs of the new student union building that will begin construction in the fall of 2008. It is one of two new fees added to the costs of students this year.
"$61 of the increase was for the student union building. That fee was introduced this year and it is understandable because it's not like we build a student union building every day. It has been almost forty years since the last one was erected," Gower said.
The new student union building, which is about to begin the design phase, will replace the Keathley University Center once it is completed.
The other new fee, the International Fee, is $10 that is appropriated to the study abroad program.
The other fees that make up the $610 Program Service Fee include the Debt Service Fee, which pays for the upkeep of buildings on campus, the Campus Recreational Fee that aids in paying the staff and other expenses of the Recreational Center, the Postal Service Fee, the Technology Access Fee, the Clean Energy Fee, which is for the purchase of green power and energy conservation, the Athletics Fee, and the Student Government Association fee.
