Upcoming FSCJ Board Meeting to Discuss Fee Adjustments for Key Courses

The Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) plans to review and possibly adjust student fees for various courses at the District Board of Trustees (DBOT) meeting on June 11, 2024. The meeting will be held at the college’s administrative offices. The main goal of the proposed changes is to align fees with the actual costs of delivering courses, student enrollment numbers, and the inclusion of new materials and exams from recently selected vendors.

The proposed adjustments will affect many courses, especially in the Nursing and Biomedical Science programs. For example, the Nursing program may change fees for courses like 'Transition to Professional Nursing' and 'Nursing Concepts: Health and Wellness Across the Lifespan.' These changes aim to cover costs for new licensed materials and clinical judgment exams necessary for student training.

In the Biomedical Science program, courses such as 'Elementary Analytical Chemistry' and 'Chemistry Instrumentation' might see fee adjustments. These changes are intended to reflect the true costs of course delivery and student enrollment, ensuring fees are fair and maintain the program’s financial health while considering student expenses.

The Natural Sciences department is also considering fee changes for courses including 'Astronomy Lab,' 'Botany,' and 'General Chemistry.' These adjustments would align fees with the actual costs and enrollment numbers, ensuring they accurately reflect the resources used.
