UAF's Tuition Committee

Originally established as the Tuition & Fee Committee in 2019, the Tuition Committee received new guidance by the UAF Chancellor in 2024. The new naming of the committee highlights the updated focus of the committee. Chaired by the Associate Vice Chancellor for Financial and Business Services, the committee was tasked with the following charges:

• Annually prepare a UAF tuition recommendation to the Chancellor to inform UAF’s submission for the President’s tuition proposal development.
•  Annually review the consolidated fee.

The composition of the committee includes:

AVC Financial and Business Services Services

AVC Student Services

Student Governance Representative

Graduate Student Representative

UAF Community and Technical College (CTC) Administrator

UAF College of Indigenous Studies (CIS) Administrator

Center for Teaching and Learning Executive Director

Office of Managment and Budget (OMB) Analyst

Bursar's Office Subject Matter Expert 

Committee Process:

The Tuition Committee meets throughout the academic year to discuss matters regarding UAF tuition rates and the consolidated fee. The annual consolidated fee review occurs during the fall with questionnaires sent to departments that receive a distribution of the fee revenue. This questionnaire requires departments to report how the funding they receive from the consolidated fee was used to support students throughout the previous fiscal year. The committee then reviews the responses and submits a report to the Chancellor. Tuition rate recommendations occur in the late fall/early spring as needed by the Chancellor to begin proposal development to the UA President.
