Mandatory Fee Committee

The fees are reviewed each year and voted on by the Mandatory Fee Committee, which must be composed of at least 50% students and include representation of graduate students, part-time students, residential students, and commuter students. Currently, the Mandatory Fee Committee comprises 7 students, 2 faculty, and 2 staff.

The Mandatory Fee Committee convenes in the fall to hear presentations of the state of each fee and any proposed changes to the fees. The committee votes to approve the fee structure each year.

The introduction of new fees, the repurposing of fees, or the increase of any fee by 20% or more must be voted on by a student body referendum. 

Any student who is interested in serving on the Mandatory Fee Committee is invited to contact Fina Endere at josefina.endere@gcsu.edu. Georgia College & State University strives for broad representation on the committee. Students are asked to commit to serving for two years.
