SERVICES INCLUDED IN SEGREGATED FEE
Your semester bill includes instructional fees
(tuition) and segregated fees. The tuition charge is established
by the Board of Regents. The fees are determined by the student
government with the support of campus administration. They fund
student services including the health center, textbook rental,
student centers and the childcare center and activities such as
athletics, intramurals and other organized activities.
Textbooks
Undergraduate course textbooks are available
on a rental basis through the Textbook Rental Service. Textbook
rental, for undergraduates, is included in the semester
segregated fee. Undergraduates may purchase rental textbook
titles through the University Bookstore on a special order
basis. Students enrolled in graduate courses are expected to
purchase their textbooks, which are available through the
University Bookstore.
Health Service
If you meet student health service
requirements and pay the segregated fee at registration, you are
eligible to receive outpatient care, physical therapy,
radiography and laboratory service in the Health Center.
Students carrying seven credits or more are automatically
charged the segregated fee. Students carrying less than seven
credits may choose to pay a health service fee. (click

of health care facilities and medical requirements for entering
students.)
The following services are not provided:
medicines, eye refraction, care of families of married students,
medical and surgical consultation outside of the Health Center,
ambulance service, emergency room visits, hospitalization, house
calls or after hours visits, dental visits, premarital
examinations, pregnancy care, infertility studies, sterilization
procedures, or abortion.
Check your current insurance policy to make sure you have
adequate coverage for services not provided by the Health
Center. If you do not have health insurance coverage, you may
enroll in a student group insurance plan. If your current policy
will expire during the school year, plan to purchase student
group insurance at the beginning of the semester in which
existing coverage will cease.
