Daily Bulletin, Tuesday, January 24, 1995

TUITION FEES are going up for 1995-96, as everybody has known since the
provincial government's decision last year to allow two consecutive hikes
of 10 per cent each.  The precise amounts UW will charge are on the 
agenda for a meeting this afternoon of the board of governors executive
committee.  The full board of governors will be asked to approve them
on February 7.

Highlights: the "basic term fee" for undergraduates will be $1,226 in
most regular programs and $1,240 in most co-op programs.  It will be
$1,331 in architecture and optometry, and $1,345 in engineering.  The
co-op fee will be $411 a term.  Graduate students will pay $466 each term 
in "term fee" and $698 in "degree program fee", for a total of $1,164.

Visa students, meanwhile, will be paying $4,636 a term at the undergraduate
level (or $7,549 in architecture, engineering or optometry); the fee
for graduate visa students will be $698 plus $4,378, or $5,076 altogether.

The agenda for the board executive committee also includes a blizzard of
figures about fees for part-time students, "incidental" fees and other
charges.  The student services fee has not yet been set, a footnote says.
It is "expected to be about twice" the 1994-95 level of $24.31 a term for
full-time students.

Also on the agenda: residence fees, an update on the university budget,
"objectives" for the university's investments, a pension and benefits
report, and so on and on.  The committee meets at 3:30 in Needles Hall
room 3004.

DISTINGUISHED TEACHERS are recognized by UW at the spring convocation each
year, and the deadline is at hand (February 3) for nominating this year's
Distinguished Teacher Award winners.  The teaching resources office at
ext. 3132 can provide full information -- or you can find it on UWinfo
by looking under Departments, then Teaching Resources and then TRACE 
Bulletin Board.
