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?
We do charge an overload over 18 credit hours

     What is it? It is equal to our per credit hour fee under 12 hours
with no additional fees.

2) Do you know how many/what percentage of your FT students pay an
overload charge? Approximately 5% at any given semester

3) What is your justification for charging an overload fee? Our
comprehensive fee is based on 12 - 18 hours, there is additional
cost involved over the 18 hours base.

Thanks,

Lynne
