Process

  1. Colleges that are up for renewal of course fees are contacted by the Provost’s Office.
  2. The course instructor determines:
    1. If the pedogogy of the course requires a course fee
    2. If the course fee will require money to be set aside for repair and replacement of equipment.
    3. If the course has shared resources (equipment in a lab/kitchen,  consumables or teaching support).
  3. The course instructor collaborates with the business services personnel to develop the appropriate budget templates.
  4. The course instructor completes the ServiceNow course fee request form and attaches the budget templates.
  5. The course fee subcommittee reviews the budget templates and works with departments to correct errors and upload new budget templates as needed.
  6. The department head reviews and approves all course fees.  The department head also prepares an overall report of course fees for the department.
  7. Course fee committee reviews all proposals and approves or sends back for revisions.
  8. Course fees are approved and finalized in ServiceNow and Banner.
