Academic Excellence & Student Success Fee
The Academic Excellence and Student Success (AE&SS) fee was established by Executive Order (EO) 1086 on June 18, 2013. The fee is designed to support student learning and engagement; and to ensure that students graduate in a timely manner with the tools to be successful in their chosen careers. The fee has been used for additional course sections, undergraduate advising, career support, academic support, and student life and recreational opportunities. It has preserved our student-centered mission, vision and values, and provides students increased opportunities for success.
An important finding from the alternative consultation process was that students wanted to remain informed about how the fee was put to use each year. As a result, and in the interest of transparency regarding AE&SS fee allocations, the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, together with the Budget Office and Student Fee Advisory Committee provides a report on the previous academic year's allocations. The AE&SS fee funds priorities that are linked to student success through providing course sections, supporting student academic and career support services, and increasing library resources.
