Course, Laboratory, Miscellaneous Fee Proposals

All new course, laboratory, and miscellaneous fee proposals and changes must be submitted for review and approval to the Office of Academic Affairs.

An annual announcement is sent by the Associate Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs (AVCAA) in October notifying the campus to submit requests for all planned changes to course, laboratory, and miscellaneous fees by a specific date in early December. The request is submitted on the campus Course, Laboratory, and Miscellaneous Fee Approval Form with the required administrator approvals.

All course, laboratory, and miscellaneous fees are reviewed initially by an Academic Affairs and Student Affairs Fee Panel. Additional information may be requested from the submitting department. The panel’s initial recommendations will be submitted to the Sr. Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs for review at the January Academic Affairs and Student Affairs meetings.

After the review and any recommended changes, the proposed fees will be presented to UNO Student Senate or a designated Student Senate committee and the UNO Chancellor’s Cabinet for feedback. After review and changes based on input from Academic Affairs and Student Affairs, UNO Student Senate, and the UNO Chancellor’s Cabinet, the Associate Vice Chancellor will prepare a summary report to the Chancellor with the recommended proposed fees. The Chancellor has final campus approval authority.

A Board of Regents recommended action for approval document is prepared by the Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and forwarded to the Chancellor for submission to the President for approval. Upon approval by the President, the recommended action for approval document is submitted for inclusion in the appropriate Board of Regents meeting agenda. After the Board of Regents has approved the fee requests, the AVCAA will notify the submitting department of such approval or denial of their request.
