At Barnard College, lab fees are recommended by academic departments (by course) & approved by the Dean. Other than billing & collecting it, bursar is not in the picture. HTH!

We do not have a "Tech Fee". We do charge a Lab Fee for most computer courses and of course, the usual, science and technology courses. ArialThe fees currently range from $14 to $138 dollars. ArialCan you please share whatever methodology is used at your schools? That is, do you assess per course, discipline or department? How do you decide on the fee? Who decides the fee? ArialThank you, in advance, for any insight you can share.
