UPB, UPG student fees hiked
Student health fees at Pitt-Greensburg (UPG) and Pitt-Bradford (UPB) will increase this fall. Citing higher costs, the Board of Trustees student affairs committee on May 21 approved a $5 per term increase for full-time students at UPG and a $25 per term increase for full-time students at UPB.
In addition, the committee voted to change the name of the UPB student health fee to the “wellness fee,” to reflect the campus Student Health Center’s provision of counseling and mental health services.
UPB’s student health fee was set at $50 per term in 2003 and had not been increased since. The newly named wellness fee will be $75 per term in fall and spring.
UPG’s student health fee, currently $25 per term in fall and spring, will rise to $30 per term in fall and spring. According to committee background documents, UPG’s student health fee was last raised in 2005.
