ABOR Tuition Rate Implementation


Quick View
Summary: 

The Arizona Board of Regents adopted a fee structure for resident undergraduate starting in Fall 2008 which will limit the amount tuition increases each year. For the Fall 2008 semester, no significant change is required since all students are in the initial year of this guarantee. In subsequent years, undergraduate resident students will need to be placed in different fee groups. The target for implementation is Fall 2008 so the entering class for 2009 can be classified correctly, current continuing students can be classified and the remaining time of their guarantee calculated and associated admissions and financial aid processes can be adjusted to work in concert with the fee structure.

Scope: 

Adjust PeopleSoft to calculate tuition and fees based on the new ABOR policy for resident undergraduate students. Revise procedures or automation in admissions, registration and financial aid to align with the fee structure. Develop methods to share the fee structure with prospective and continuing students.

Key components include:

  • revisions to the Student Business Services website so that incoming students can project their fee structure
  • revising fee/tuition calculation in PeopleSoft to just data related fee groups based on the new policy
  • updating current records to validate/correct the data used in fee calculation
  • developing methods to support the appeal process and update the student's record to reflect appeal outcomes
  • adjusting admissions, matriculation and/or term activation processes in PeopleSoft to set the fee group
  • revising the Financial Aid processes in PeopleSoft to work in concert with the fee calculation methods.
