2010-11 Health Fee Advisory Board meeting The Health Fee Advisory Board (HFAB) advises University Health Services-Tang Center and campus administration on matters related to the Campus Health Care Fee paid during registration. |
Campus Health Care Fee
In March 2005 during the Safeguard Student Health Care Fee
Referendum, students voted for a health fee that would protect and
improve access to services at University Health Services (UHS)--Tang
Center. The collection of the fee began in Fall 2005.
Each year, the Health Fee Advisory Board (HFAB) conducts analysis and recommends a Campus Health Care Fee level for the following year. In line with HFAB's 2011 recommendation, the following change will occur for 2010-11:
- Fall/spring semester health fee was increased from $53 to $54.50, starting fall 2011
- Summer health fee will be increased from $37 to $38.50, starting summer 2011
