At Wayne State every student enrolled in a foreign language course pays a
'course material fee' which has been called and been in existence since the
"language Lab" era of the 60's and 70's. It is a 5 $ fee, and that amount
has also remained unchanged since that era, and the money is moved into our
Center's account every semester. We use it for expenses that benefit
students directly.
It is interesting to see how different this is at different Centers.

David:
Yale does not charge student lab fees. They don't seem to make a lot of
sense to me, but that opinion probably serves more to flaunt my naivete than
anything else.
Best,

Any opinions expressed here are mine alone. If Yale wanted my opinion,
they'd tell me what it was.

David,
At the University of Regina, there used to be lab fees, but these were
discontinued in the late 90s (prior to my arrival). I believe part of
the issue was that the university charged these fees, but they were
not distributed as they should have been.
Good luck,
Deanne

Here at the University of North Texas every student who takes a foreign
language
class pays a lab fee. It covers all the Lab expenses except my salary-and
I'm
the only salaried employee. The Lab gets all the money and I have complete
control. I add up all our expenses, including our depreciation schedule, and
then divide it by the number of students we expect to enroll for the year.
Right
now our semester fee is $8.24-but we had almost 8000 students enrolled
fiscal
2007-08. Email me if you'd like more information.
