REQUIRED FEES

All four fees described below are applied to every student for each semester they are registered. This includes those students studying abroad and those who are student teaching or interning off campus. The fees are also applied to those students living off campus.

Student Life Fee: $68.00/semester

All students have access to the campus center facilities on both campuses, such as workout facilities and the field houses.  This fee covers maintenance of and improvements to the Haehn Campus Center and the Warner Palestra and McNeally Spectrum.  It is impossible to regulate who does and does not utilize the facilities since they are available to all students. Therefore, this fee is applied to all students regardless of living arrangements.

Activity Fee: $96.00/semester

All students have access to free events and activities on both campuses, such as speakers, athletic events, performances, and clubs, as well as after-hour buses and security on weekend after-hour buses.  This fee covers the cost of such events and is applied by the CSB and SJU Senates.  All funds from the Activity Fee are paid to the senates and go directly to the students.  The Activity Fees for those students studying abroad go directly to the study abroad program and pay for trips and events abroad.  All events and activities are available to all   students.  It is impossible to regulate who does and does not attend the events and activities.  The Activity Fee is sent with all study abroad groups to be used for group activities.

Technology Fee: $110.00/semester

Among other things, the fee helps pay for e-mail accounts, network storage space, software licensing, the Banner system and internet service--as well as technical support and training related to these services. Since the fee covers services provided to all CSB/SJU students, it cannot be waived for individuals.

Health Center Fee: $125.00/semester

A new charge appears on your account this year, the CSB Health Center fee.  This fee supports the newly created CSB Health Services.  CSB Health Services has been designed with the specific needs of college-age women in mind, while assisting them in making good self-care decisions as they transition into adulthood.  The women of Saint Benedict will find an experienced staff who can address these needs in a comfortable, confidential environment. 

Primary care services offered to the women of St. Ben’s will include: preventative care such as routine physicals, travel consults, treatment of acute injuries, illnesses, and mental health conditions, vaccinations and screening programs .  In addition to a lab, some pharmaceuticals will be stocked to provide additional convenience for patients.
