Universal Access Fee
A $542 Universal Access Fee is charged each term to all students. The Universal Access Fee (UAF) covers specialized costs associated with technology and equipment usage that facilitate learning and making specific to art and design education across departments. This includes, but is not limited to, software access and licensing as well as usage of the Shops and 3D Modeling labs, computer labs, Educational Media Equipment Center, and the support, upgrades, and maintenance related to providing such resources. Due to increased demand for these critical services, the proliferation of digital making across all departments, and expanded multimodal course offerings, periodic adjustments to the UAF may be necessary to insure that students have access to critical, specialized tools necessary for their development and learning. Fees are subject to change and are refundable on the same schedule as tuition.
