Florida State University gives public notice of proposed increases to student fees effective Fall 2025. Details on the proposed fee increases are available at the bottom of this page.
The FSU Board of Trustees will consider the proposal at its meeting on June 12, 2025, at 3:30 pm (meeting dates and times are subject to change). Continue to monitor the Board of Trustees website, https://trustees.fsu.edu/meetings, for potential changes to the next meeting date and time.
Rationale and Use of Funds
- Activity & Service Fee - Funds programs and organizations that foster connection, engagement, and personal growth, including Student Government Association, the Student Union, Student Engagement, and Campus Recreation. The last increase was over 10 years ago. These programs/organizations can no longer sustain existing student services without receiving an increase in their revenues. The increase will be used to address a decade of rising expenses due to inflation and required minimum wage increases. In addition, the increases will be used to address new services being requested by students.
- Health Fee - Supports University Health Services (UHS) and Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS). The last increase was over 10 years ago. These programs/organizations can no longer sustain existing student services without receiving an increase in their revenues. The increase will be used to address a decade of rising expenses due to inflation and required minimum wage increases. In addition, the increases will be used to address new services being requested by students.
- Athletics Fee – Supplements the University’s Athletics programs, including operations, security, and compliance. The last increase was over 10 years ago. Athletics can no longer sustain existing student services without receiving an increase in their revenues. The increase will be used to address a decade of rising expenses due to inflation, Federal legislation, and required minimum wage increases.
- Transportation Access Fee – Funds the construction, enhancement, and deferred maintenance for campus parking garages/lots. Also, funds the use of city and campus buses and access to campus parking and pedestrian pathways. The last increase was over 10 years ago. Transportation and Parking Services can no longer sustain existing student services without receiving an increase in their revenues. The increase will be used to address a decade of rising expenses due to inflation and growing deferred maintenance on existing facilities. In addition, the increase will be used for planning, design, and construction of a new garage on the Northwest side of the Main Campus.
In accordance with state law, this notice is also being emailed to all enrolled students.
