How is the activity fee allocated?
Every full-time undergraduate student pays $220 per year toward the activity fee. This money from the activity fee is allocated to fully chartered Ashland University organizations, residence hall programming and other university traditions such as the annual Homecoming festivities, etc. The allocation process includes an application for funding which is reviewed and voted on by the Activities Budget/Chartering Committee (ABCC) of Student Senate. This committee is comprised of students, faculty and staff who meet weekly during the spring semester to allocate funds for the following academic year. The most common misconception about this activity fee is that all of the money goes to the Department of Student Life or the Campus Activities Board. Every year, the ABC Committee allocates these activity fee funds to over 65 different campus organizations. These organizations include Greek Affairs, WRDL/TV-2, Theatre Musical, Minority Student Services, Religious Life, Collegian, Center for Com
