Description of Fees:
General
University Fee
Fee supports student related programs and institutional services of those programs. These programs are, by definition, ancillary to the educational mission of the University and must generate a portion of their operating revenue through fees for services or sales charges. GUF provides support for such programs as Student Health Services, Athletics & Recreational Services, One Card Office, Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts, Student Activities and Student Union, and the Off Campus Student Services Office.
Infrastructure Maintenance Fee (IMF)
Fee supports debt service associated with South Campus residence halls and partially supports Operating and Maintenance (O&M) costs related to UCONN 2000 construction projects as well as preventive and deferred maintenance.
Student Government Fee
A majority of the funds collected are allocated to the student organizations (including the yearbook) and area residence hall councils by the Undergraduate Student Government. The Fee also supports student life through advocacy and outreach programs, and it is used to train current and up-and-coming leaders through annual attendance at student government conferences.
