Students enrolled in at least six semester hours will pay $57.60, and $9.60 is added on for each additional credit hour.
To keep up the Morris University Center and student programming in the MUC, all students are charged the University Center Fee. Those enrolled in five or more semester hours are charged $148.
According to the Registrar's Web site, the Student-to-Student Grant Fee provides small awards for students in need. The funds are matched by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission. The fee is mandatory for each student but may be refunded by request at the Bursar's Office within two weeks of the start of the semester.
This fund is not charged to students enrolled in five hours or less, but is charged $6 to students taking six credit hours or more.
Students who live in campus housing are charged the Campus Housing Activity Fee; the cost depends upon which residence hall a student lives in or if the student lives in Cougar Village. Students living off campus are not assessed this fee.
Each student is charged with the Student Welfare and Activity Fee (SWAF); however, this fee is split up into seven different sub-fees.
The Campus Recreation Sub-Fee, Student Activities and Organizations Sub-Fee, Student Government Sub-Fee, Student Legal Services Sub-Fee, Student Medical Benefit Sub-Fee, Student Programming Sub-Fee, and Student Publications Sub-Fee combine to form the total SWAF fee.
Each student enrolled in six or more credit hours is charged $86.55 per semester for the SWAF fee.
To maintain the Student Fitness Center and its equipment, including as the walking track, weight room, and basketball and volleyball courts, SIUE assesses each student the Student Fitness Center Fee.
Every student is charged $62.30 for the Student Fitness Center Fee, regardless of how many hours a student is taking.
E-mail services and Internet access are critical to SIUE, and to cover the cost, students are charged the Information Technology Fee. This fee costs each student $6.20 per credit hour.

I've Always Hated Those Fees...

I've always thought of them as unfair. People shouldn't have to pay, unless it's a service that they themselves are using. Athletic fee? Just charge those involved in Athletics. (Continued…)
