We’ve pulled this information together to assist ASEs with 50% appointments in budgeting for the upcoming academic year. Last year’s member-driven mobilization backed the University off of violating our collective bargaining agreement by imposing new student fees, but the University has implemented a refunding system to cover the costs of these fees per last year’s Settlement Agreement. Their insistence on doing this has resulted in a far more opaque and costly system of fee waivers – UW apparently spends $40,000 per quarter to process these refunds.
We’ve been pushing the University to treat the waiver of all new fees (FR, U-Pass, and International Student Fee) in the same manner as they treat other waived fees (Technology and Operating). We’ve also filed a grievance, citing that the University is not accurately reflecting the costs of fees in their appointment letters.
A few notes:
- Tuition/Fee waivers apply to all ASEs with 50% FTE appointments.
- The Student Activities Fee (SAF), Building Fee, and Intramural Athletic Fee (IMA) must be paid by all ASEs, even those with tuition/fee waivers.
- The Operating and Technology Fees are completely waived. They are not charged to ASEs with 50% FTE appointments.
- All ASES are required to pay the Student Facilities Renovation (FR) fee at the beginning of the quarter. Those with 50% FTE appointments will receive a partial refund automatically from UW. While UW will refund one-half of this Fee through Spring 2014, it will refunded the fee in its entirety starting in Summer 2014 through the duration of our collective bargaining agreement.
- Do not use your U-Pass if you wish to have it a refunded. The University will send you an email later this quarter, notifying you that you do need to fill out an online form if you would like to apply for a refund.
- The International Student Fee cannot be charged to ASEs with waivers. UW currently is waiving this fee, so it does not have to be paid and refunded.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
