Florida Statute 1009.23(12)(a) grants authority to Florida College System institutional boards of trustees to establish fees within a range allowed by state statute. These fees “shall not exceed the cost of services provided and shall only be charged to persons receiving the service.” To
comply with this legislation, SJR State created a specific institutional policy and procedure that governs the creation, review and adjustment of fees.
The proposed fees on the attached document are a result of the analysis of the anticipated enrollment and the annual expenditures for the course(s). The analysis of these expenditures includes a percentage allocation to the shared courses so that students are only obligated for the cost associated with their specific course(s). Fee adjustments typically occur due to revisions to curriculum and course(s) and/or changes in the cost of expenditures. All laboratory and course fees are used to purchase items that are specifically related to the student learning outcomes and objectives of the course(s).
Proposed fees, which include fee increases, decreases and new fees related to new course offerings, will be considered for the courses on the attached fee document beginning in the 2023-2024 academic year:
