Polk State College District Board of Trustees Considering Changes in Fees for 2021-22

The Polk State College District Board of Trustees (DBOT) will consider changes in lab fees for college credit, Kenneth C. Thompson Institute of Public Safety, and Educator Preparation Institute courses offered at the College at the May 24 board meeting.

Each year the college evaluates all fees to ensure that charges accurately reflect any changes in the cost of instructional materials or supplemental items required for courses. Polk State has a total of 224 lab fees for the 2021-2022 academic year.

One hundred ninety-six fees are unchanged from 20202-021. Nine lab fees are decreasing due to reductions in the cost of supplies. Fifteen fees are increasing due to increases in the cost of supplies used in face-to-face and hybrid courses. Four fees are for new face-to-face and hybrid courses or new course requirements. Details of the fee changes are described below:
