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.
In order to give advance notice to all those affected by prospective fee increases,
the Board of Trustees adopts that the Administration will recommend that the Consolidated
Student Services, Student Success, Athletics, Transit, and ASUW portion of the Student
Mandatory Fee will be increased by the same percentage increase for resident undergraduate
base tuition for each academic year. Administration may recommend fee increases or
decreases to certain fees when the indexed fee is not appropriate
Financial assistance received by students through the Office of Scholarships & Financial
Aid will be applied to
assessed tuition and mandatory fees then to other university assessed fees and charges,
prior to distribution to the
student. If the student receives federal financial aid they may (in writing) limit
the use of financial aid to only
tuition payments, mandatory fees and university housing charges.
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 Budget & Finance.
Interest rates for 1) loan funds established by the University of Wyoming; and 2)
loan funds established by the State of
Wyoming without statutory interest rates shall be established at six percent (6%)
annual percentage rate with a two

Loans from loan funds established by trust agreement, will or similar instrument with
no stipulated interest rate shall
not accrue interest, but will carry a Loan Advance fee of two percent (2%) of the
loan amount.
Interest rates for the Medical School Student Loan Program and Family Practice Residency
Loan Program shall be
consistent with Trustee actions on student loan interest rates prescribed by the Trustees
on July 9, 1985 and November 9, 1985.

with the actions of the 1993
(52nd) General Session of the State of Wyoming Legislature (Wyoming Statute, Chapter
203).
The interest rate for the Superior Student in Education Loan Program shall be consistent
with Trustee action on student loan interest rates (April 11, 1985) and established
at six percent (6%) annual percentage rate with a two percent (2%) annual percentage
rate penalty for loan default.
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 Budget & Finance
and published in the Fee Book.
The Vice President for Budget & Finance, 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.
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 Budget
& Finance 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.
