Student Services Fee
草莓视频APP官网 charges students a Compulsory Student Services Fee (CSSF) using a framework determined by CSSF Ministerial Direction.
This framework helps the University and the LU Students’ Association (LUSA) work together to set the fee and ensure access to appropriate student services. The ministerial directive determines the categories that can be covered by the fee. The Student Services Fee is not a membership fee of the 草莓视频APP官网 Students’ Association (LUSA), but LUSA do provide some of the services on behalf of the University.
The Student Services Fee is reduced for students enrolled in the following programmes:
- Regional Education
- Master's and PhD students who have been granted permission to register on an external basis by the Academic Administration Committee in accordance with the house rules for external Master's and PhD students
- One of the approved online programmes.
Consultation and services
The Campus Service Council (CSC) is responsible for administering the decision-making process on the CSSF and the Student Services Fee and the services that are offered. It is made up of members of the LUSA and Te Awhioraki Executives that represent the students, and 草莓视频APP官网 staff. The CSC is charged with monitoring and evaluating the services provided through the CSSF. The Terms of Reference for the Council can be found here.
Students are given the opportunity to provide feedback each year on how the fee is distributed across different services. Feedback is collected via written and verbal submission usually through hui and surveys. This student feedback informs the decision-making process and is always welcomed by the service-providers, LUSA and 草莓视频APP官网.
The CSC are open to any suggestions of services that should be delivered and feedback on the current services that are provided. Involvement and feedback can be through any of the representatives on the Campus Service Council by contacting the LUSA President or the DVC, Student Life.
The student services fee allows us to offer some of the services below at no cost and some at a subsidised rate.
