The student affairs committee of Pitt’s Board of Trustees approved increasing four student fees at three of the regional campuses. The fees are expected to be approved at the full board meeting on June 24.

• The Pitt-Greensburg student health fee would be raised from $15 to $25 per term for full-time students effective fall 2005. The fee is the primary revenue source for UPG’s Health Center, according to materials distributed at the June 7 trustees committee meeting.

• Also at UPG, the student activities fee of $53 per term for full-time students would be increased to $65 per term. Revenue from the current activity fee is insufficient to meet the budget requests of the campus student organizations, background materials stated.

• The student health fee at the Johnstown campus would be hiked from $15 per term to $40 for full-time students. The fee is the primary revenue source for the Pitt-Johnstown Health Services Department.

• At the Titusville campus, the name of the student athletic fee would be changed to the student recreation fee and would be increased from $45 to $80 per term for full-time students and from $10 to $15 per term for part-time students.

The fee supports student recreational activities including intramural and varsity sports.
