RESOLUTION

concerning
Amendment to Fee Schedule and Refund Policy
March 4, 2005

WHEREAS,    Pursuant to the provisions of Section 10a-99 of the Connecticut General Statutes, "...the Board of Trustees of the Connecticut State University System shall fix fees for tuition and shall fix fees for such other purposes as the board deems necessary at the university, and may make refunds of the same," and

WHEREAS,    The current Food Service refund policy states that Food Service Fees are to be refunded upon withdrawal from university housing or the University, and

WHEREAS,    A student's withdrawal from university housing does not necessarily mean that they desire to withdraw from the food service program, and

WHEREAS,    The current Food Service refund policy states, "Full weeks will be used to prorate", and

WHEREAS,    Food plans at the universities have evolved beyond the traditional "19 meals per week" plan to include plans with a certain number of total meals and sometimes a cash component that is available through activation on a meal card or the university's "one card", and

WHEREAS,    The types of food plans with cash components offered at each university vary, and

WHEREAS,    The cash component of each food plan is relatively small compared to the total plan, and

WHEREAS,    Each university has developed internal procedures to deal with this cash component when refunding the Food Service fee, since this component does not necessarily lend itself to proration in all cases, therefore be it

RESOLVED,   That the Food Service Fee portion of the Fee Schedule and Refund Policy enumerated in BR#03-65 be amended as set forth in the attachment to this resolution, and be it further

RESOLVED,   That these amendments to the Fee Schedule and Refund Policy are effective for Academic Year 2005-06.
