[Microplantpath_faculty] CALL for new or updated course material fees FY26-27

[Sherice Underwood]

Good afternoon,


I just received the CALL for new or updated course material fees for FY
2026-27.  If  you would like to change your course material fees or add
fees for a course that does not yet charge them, please let me know and I
will work with the Chair to review the requests.  This is a long process,
so please let me know by January 31, 2026 so we can work with you to
complete the necessary paperwork.

I’ve attached the proposal template and the UCR policy can be found here:
https://policyking.ucr.edu/home/policy/6595e845cbb2c5e578a8eba7
<https://fboapps.ucr.edu/policies/index.php?path=viewPolicies.php&policy=550-25>
.



*Guidelines to Complete the Proposal:*



   1. Any fee changes are subject to the CMF process and must be submitted
   using the form below.
   2. *If you have more than one proposal, please fill out additional forms
   and submit them separately.*
   3. There is a new section that requires you to enter both the revenue
   and expense COAs. The COA information can be provided by your department
   FAO.
   4. Prior to submitting your proposals, please ensure you have proper
   documentation of the student notice and consultation process. *For new
   fees or significant fee changes, it is recommended to provide student
   feedback using written surveys to accurately capture student input (I can
   provide a sample if needed).*
   5. Please confirm all course information within the course catalog prior
   to submission to avoid any delays.
   6.

*If students are required to pay third-party vendors for materials,
   departments must establish a CMF to cover these costs. This applies to
   subscriptions, digital content/access, and any other materials that incur
   costs, ensuring equitable access for all students. *

If you would like to check your current CMF fees, please follow the link at
