Course Fees

Salt Lake Community College continually focuses on our fiscal responsibility to maximize Access and Affordability for our students. Each year course fees are evaluated to ensure they are set, collected, and used at a reasonable rate to students. Course fees are approved annually by the SLCC Executive Cabinet and Board of Trustees and effective for the following year.

Guidelines

Course fees should be kept to a minimum whenever possible to avoid increasing the financial burden on students. Fees are only assessed to cover specific, direct, and allowable costs for a course or program. These fees must be used for the benefit of the enroll students in the course or program to avoid passing costs onto the general student population. Course fee revenue shall not accrue over time.

SLCC Course Fees policy and related processes define and guide the purpose, collection, and acceptable use of course fees. It also includes examples of acceptable course fees and where course fees are situated in the matrix of funding teaching and learning materials.
