The policies outlined in this Website apply to the current fiscal year. All prior
approvals of fees, charges, and deposits are

incurred there under.

The Trustees of the University of Wyoming, a constitutional body, are responsible for the "management of the university"(Wyoming Constitution, Article 7, 17). The Trustees "possess all the powers necessary or convenient to accomplish the objects and perform the duties prescribed by law and shall have custody of the books, records, buildings and all other property of the university" (W.S. 21-17-203). The Trustees may "(e)xpend the income placed under their control from whatever source derived, and exercise all other functions properly belonging to such a board and necessary to the prosperity of the university and all its departments" (W.S. 21-17-204).
Section 2 of Chapter VIII (STUDENTS) of the Regulations of the Trustees stipulates
that "All student fees, charges, refunds, and deposits shall be fixed by resolution
of the Trustees and shall be published in the appropriate university publications."
Therefore, pursuant to constitutional and statutory provisions, the Trustees are responsible
for the establishment of all
fees, charges, and deposits assessed, and refunds afforded to individuals applying
for admission to the university, enrolled students, university employees, and the
general public. Such fees shall be reasonable and prudent for the adequate protection
and control of university funds, equipment, facilities services and materials.
A student failing to pay fees, charges, fines, penalties, or deposits as prescribed
by the Trustees of the University of
Wyoming shall be denied registration at the university or copies of transcripts until
such fees, charges, fines, penalties, or
deposits are paid in full. A non-student failing to pay fees, charges, fines, penalties,
or deposits as prescribed by the
Trustees of the University of Wyoming shall be denied use of University facilities
and services until such fees, charges,
fines, penalties, or deposits are paid in full. Procedures for adjudication of disputes
over payment of fees, charges, fines,
penalties, or deposits shall be prescribed by the Vice President for Administration.
The Trustees delegate the authority for the establishment of advertising, subscription
and related rates or charges for
student media, including the Branding Iron, Frontiers Magazine, and Owen Wister Review,
to the Student Media Board.
Rates or charges established by the Student Media Board shall be filed annually with
the Office of the Vice President for
Administration and published in the Fee Book.
The Vice President for Administration, with approval by the Trustees, is authorized
to establish fees, charges, or deposits
for interdepartmental purposes. In no case shall the assessment of such fee, charge,
or deposit exceed the direct cost plus
reasonable administrative overhead.
Non-university users of campus facilities will be assessed a 10 percent surcharge
on rental fees. Any surcharge will be
deposited into a separate account earmarked for maintenance, and under the control
of the Director of Physical Plant.
For self-sustaining facilities rented to external users, surcharges will be deposited
to an account similarly designated.
The following rental fee structure will be used.
Qualifying groups and activities include UW recognized student clubs and organizations, faculty or staff work-related meetings, or fund-raising activities or other activities not involving commercial entities.
Non-profit organizations and Wyoming state agencies sponsored by a recognized student
organization or UW 6 department, with participants who are primarily students, faculty
and staff qualify under this category.
State of Wyoming Legislative and Agency meetings or functions are exempt from facility/meeting room fees.
Qualifying groups and activities include University departments, recognized student clubs and organizations co-sponsoring events with commercial entities or events where admission is charged.
Non-profit organizations and Wyoming state agencies, not primarily involving students, faculty and staff and regional or national student or department educational conferences qualify under this category
Commercial off-campus groups.
The purpose of this policy is to allow University departments to recover direct costs, and reasonable indirect costs, for use of University facilities, equipment, services or materials as set forth in the following paragraph.
The Trustees' authority to establish fees is delegated to the Vice President for Administration
to set casual food service
rates in the University food service operations, resale of items in the University
Bookstore, various telecommunication
rates, and other resale activities. Fees will not be authorized for items nor shall
this provision be construed, in any way, to avoid the Trustees' authority to establish
fees.
