with operational integrity, enhancing academic support for student

athletes and maintaining a Division I NCAA Athletics program. This

New Student Center

The opening of the new Student Center in 2018 will require several new positions

and operating costs will increase significantly. The new Center will operate seven

days per week and as late as midnight daily. Extended operation hours will require

additional maintenance personnel and utility costs will rise proportionately. This

increase will also provide funds for hiring additional student employees.

Student Development

A&T is committed to educating our students for responsible citizenship in ways that

both deepen their education and improve the quality of community life. This fee

increase will be used to broaden opportunities for enhanced student development

activities that will prepare our students to effectively engage in the global

community.

In FY16-17, North Carolina A&T launched a comprehensive program to address

technology needs in classrooms and computer laboratories. The core of this

program is the installation of modern technology, including computer platforms

that are appropriate to the academic discipline. This will lead into an equipment

refresh cycle in which 20% of classrooms and computer labs are upgraded each

year to ensure that this equipment remains current and in working order. The

program also includes the creation of a student technician program aimed at

improving technology support for faculty in classrooms. The fee increase is

requested to ensure that the university has the funds necessary to sustain the

refresh cycle in coming years. It will also be used to fund software to be

installed on classroom computers and in computer labs, and to fund the student

technician program. This fee increase will also support the purchase of

consumable academic supplies (lab equipment and material) annually.

improving food offerings, providing more meal and dining variety and

extending the hours of operations. Students will receive well-diversified

menu options that keep pace with student desires and overall dining

experience. This will include weekly theme options and an additional

premium night. The newly enhanced menu options will stimulate

excitement and create a competitive market for residential dining.
