Services and Activities Fees: Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding how your student fees are managed is an essential part of your experience at WSU Vancouver. Services and Activities (S&A) Fees play a vital role in funding the vibrant campus life beyond the classroom, supporting everything from student-led organizations and government to campus events and essential facilities. The following frequently asked questions provide transparency into how these funds are collected, who oversees the allocation process, and how you can directly impact the way these resources serve our student body.
Services and Activities (S&A) Fees are one component of the total tuition and fees that students pay. The three components of “tuition and fees” are building fees, operating fees and S&A Fees.
These funds are used to support non-academic student activities, programs, and projects on the WSU Vancouver campus (e.g. student government, performances, speakers, services, facilities and equipment for students). Learn more about spending your S&A Fee allocation (PDF).
Any WSU Vancouver group, organization or individual may request funds. Recognized student organizations (RSOs) should pursue funding support through ASWSUV.
A portion of WSU Vancouver student tuition is earmarked for S&A Fees. This will appear in students’ myWSU “Account Details” as an item labeled “VANCO UGRD Res Tui-S&A.”
Yes, all students pay S&A Fees. The fee is the same amount for all students who take 10 credits or more, regardless of their degree, class status (undergrad or grad), or residency status. For students taking less than 10 credit hours, the fee is 1/10th of the full-time rate for each credit hour, with a minimum charge of two credits.
The S&A Fee amount is recommended by the S&A Fee Allocation Committee and approved by the Board of Regents.
By the S&A Fee Allocation Committee. This committee makes recommendations for both S&A operating and facility funds. Each spring, the S&A Fee Allocation Committee meets to review budget requests submitted by various campus entities (e.g. ASWSUV). After budget hearings, the committee makes recommendations for allocations for the next fiscal year.
The S&A Fee Allocation Committee is comprised primarily of students with two administrators and a faculty member.
Student recommendations for service on the committee are made by the ASWSUV president and forwarded to the Chancellor for approval.
The overall requests of funded units and projects are reviewed along with an analysis of current and projected enrollment. Enrollment drives the funding available and the committee allocates based on the ability and needs of these units to serve students.
