Student Activity Fee Information

The Student Activity Fee for the 2008-2009 academic year is $5.00 per credit up to a maximum of 12 hours.  Following is information on the organizations and activities funded by student activity fees.

Athletics

The fee allocation funds the operation of all intercollegiate athletic functions.  IU Southeast offers intercollegiate opportunities in Volleyball, Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Baseball, Softball, and Men’s and Women’s Tennis.  The funds also support travel for the teams that qualify for post-season tournaments.

Cheerleaders and Dance Team

The Cheerleaders and the Dance Team perform at all men’s and women’s home basketball games, and various other events, both on and off campus.  The cheerleaders and dance team help promote our athletic programs, support student athletes, and generate school spirit.

Children’s Center

The Children’s Center is a drop-in program for children ages 3-10 and can accommodate up to 35 children at any one time. Students pay a nominal hourly rate to assist in funding the Center.

Game Room

The Game Room is one of the primary student lounge areas on campus, offering board games, billiards, table tennis, and a place for student recreation, relaxation, and interaction.  The fee allocation provides for the game-related equipment and the staff coverage.

The Horizon

The Horizon is the official student newspaper of IU Southeast. The weekly paper is funded by activity fee money and advertising revenue. All facets of the publication are student driven.

Leadership Development

The Student Activity Fee allocation facilitates the provision of a comprehensive leadership development program for students. The diverse array of programs focus on developing current and emerging student leaders as well as providing opportunities for other students to develop leadership skills and gain the tools needed to lead effectively.

Learning Enrichment Fund

The fees supporting this fund are dedicated for the enrichment of students’ educational experiences.  The fund allows students to travel to conferences to make research or other professional presentations.  Students with faculty support may apply for these funds.

The Literary Review

The Literary Review is published every year with photographs, poetry, and short stories submitted by students.  The Literary Review is published by students, and is available at the Information Desk and various places around campus.

Student Government Association (SGA)

Allocations to the Student Government Association provide the financial resources necessary to address student concerns and to represent IU Southeast throughout the state.  These fees also allow your student representatives to attend IU Board of Trustees meetings.

Student Involvement

The fees provide one-time seed monies to new Recognized Student Organizations, fund opportunities to encourage and increase student engagement, and support the annual student recognition and awards program.

Student Planner

The Student Planner provides students with campus activities and events, the academic calendar, and campus resource information.

Student Program Council (SPC)

Fees allocated to the Student Program Council provide the financial support for all student-produced lectures, concerts, and events on campus.  All aspects of the events are planned and produced by students.

Undergraduate Research Journal (URJ)

The URJ provides undergraduate students in any academic discipline the opportunity to publish their research papers or essays.  The URJ is available at the Information Desk and is displayed across campus.

Volunteer Programs

The Volunteer Programs' mission is to further enhance student volunteerism within our campus and local communities.  The allocation funds the operation of the Center, student positions, and campus and community service opportunities.

Where Does My Money Go?

Financial support for co-curricular programs comes from the Student Activity Fee, which all undergraduate and graduate students pay each semester as part of their tuition and fees. The fee is assessed on a per credit hour basis up to a maximum of 12 credit hours.

Without the money from the Student Activity Fee, Indiana University Southeast would not be able to offer many of the activities or sponsor the organizations that develop and enrich student life at IU Southeast. Student Activity Fees are collected each semester to provide students with the following programs, opportunities, support and leadership groups:

  • Athletics
  • Cheerleaders
  • Dance Team
  • Children's Center
  • Game Room
  • The Horizon
  • Leadership Development
  • Learning Enrichment Fund
  • Literary Review
  • Student Government Association
  • Student Involvement
  • Student Planner
  • Student Program Council
  • Undergraduate Research Journal
  • Volunteer Programs

The Student Life Committee (comprised of eight students, two faculty members, and two staff members) meets annually to propose distribution of income from the fees. The Committee solicits student input from and through the Student Government Association on the fee rate; SGA also has representation on the Student Life Committee. Students are informed of SAF-sponsored programs through the following:

Contact the Office of Students Affairs if you have questions or comments about the Student Activity Fee.
