*An example in identifying college/departmental course fees: A student majoring in engineering may take three courses originated by the Carl R. Ice College of Engineering and one course originated by the College of Arts and Sciences in a given semester schedule. In that scenario, three courses would be subject to the Carl R. Ice College faculty salary tuition surcharge, while one course would be subject to the College of Arts and Sciences college fee.
