Re: bursar-l: [Eduaccountants] Overloads - Survey

1. For Centenary College of Louisiana, anything over the full-time range of
12-18 hours is assessed an overload fee of $660 per hour
 
2. From what I can readily see, we had very few takers at this level (above
18 hours). Certainly less than a few thousand dollars raised.
 
3. It's been that way for a long time. I guess we assume some expense may be
involved. but I won't claim it's well studied. Again, it's so small, I don't
think it matters much to us.

Subject: [Eduaccountants] Overloads - Survey

Good morning,

Our Student Council is asking about our overload fee. We are on a term
system. Our FT tuition is $8,355 for 12-18 hours. Above 18 hours the
students are charged $300 per additional credit hour. This is the same as
our part-time rate for less than 12 hours. Last year we had 292 students
(FT undergraduate enrollment was 2,339 for autumn term) who were charged
overloads - the unduplicated count was 237 (7 had overloads all three terms
and 41 had overloads in two terms). Total revenues generated were $160K.

1) If you have a full-time tuition rate, do you charge an overload fee?

     What is it?

2) Do you know how many/what percentage of your FT students pay an overload
charge?

3) What is your justification for charging an overload fee?

Thanks,

Lynne
