Every dollar collected through the college course fee is designed to help students graduate more efficiently by ensuring they receive the guidance they need when selecting courses. Stronger advising and supervision will lead to:
- Fewer unnecessary credit hours taken.
- Reduced time to graduation.
- Increased support for students in licensure programs.
These fees reflect a long-term investment in student success and academic support, ensuring CEBS students receive the resources they need to thrive.

Student Involvement in Fee Allocation.
