Less waiting in lines, and for elevators. More computer terminals, More lab space. Less to work with in office and departmental budgets and unfortunately, More money for tuition and fees. Tuition levels were established by agreement of the state legislature and the SUNY Board of Trustees. However, fee levels are established by the UB administration.
Means exist for students to apply for waivers of some fees.
In the case of the new Technology Fee, students who have proof of a Transportation Fee waiver and do not have an account on the central computing system can request a waiver of that fee. Waiver requests can be made in writing to Academic Services, Computing and Information Technology at the Computing Center. Banking and telecommunications services are also available to cardholders, and new uses are likely to be added in the future. After Friday, permanent sites will be open at 230 Student Union and 101 Harriman Hall between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday-Friday. On the North Campus, a large new parking area accommodating more than 250 cars will be open shortly for student and special event parking, according to Ronald Nayler, associate vice president for university facilities.
