In February 2009, the Board of Regents granted approval of a pilot project that would charge an additional $350 fee to undergraduate students for each online class they take. While initially granted just for the current academic year, the board approved extension of this financial model for the pilot project into the 2010-11 academic year. “The extension of this pilot would help us determine the usefulness of online courses in a broader spectrum of disciplines, its role in large lecture classes, and the differences between its effectiveness in lower- and upper-division courses,” the academic and student affairs committee wrote in the proposal. The $350 fee is used for online-course development, instruction and administrative costs of the classes with at least 40 students.
