  • Proposed new mandatory fees at Montana Tech (North Campus Only)
  • Tech Learning Center Fee for North Campus Students
  • This fee is basically to replace the fees lost to the math department when the Regents restructured lab fees. In the past, the math department provided the Tech Learning Center with approximately $14,000 per year to support the tutoring program, which is the heart of the TLC program. Math tutoring comprises the majority of tutoring costs in the TLC. Furthermore, decreased support of the TLC on the part of the Foundation is anticipated. The TLC has been given the additional responsibility for all campus retention programs without any substantial increase in funding. Temporary subsidy has been provided by the Residential Life Program, but this should end so that these funds can be used for the living/learning program purposes as intended. The proposed fee will cover these tutoring costs and allow the Center to expand its support services at a minimum level. A writing tutor will likely be added.
  • HPER Expansion and Operational Support of the HPER
  • ASMT recommends and put to referendum a new fee to improve recreational and athletic facilities on the Tech campus. This proposed new fee is $2 per credit hour up to 12 credit hours, phased up to $3 over a nine-year period.  In year one, revenue would be $88,000. Year four would be $96,000, and year nine would be $136,000. In the 2000 ASMT Executive Officer Elections, students strongly supported expanding the weight room facilities in the HPER. This is both an access and a safety issue. Student discussions have also led to the idea that the fee should pay for these improvement project costs and thereafter be dedicated to the operation and improvement of the HPER.
