All usu Student Council meetings and Committee meetings are open to student attendance and all students are entitled to: It is correct that by 2006 some universities had increased the rate of their mandatory nonacademic fee (each university had its own name, at the University of Melbourne it was the Amenities and Services Fee) to the point that it represented a important financial burden for students. At the time upfront payment of these fees was a condition of enrollment, and students who did not pay on time were often subject to further financial penalties and late fees. At some universities this meant a important reduction in the quality of campus life and student experience. While there was a range of views around the reintroduction of a universal student services and amenities fee, universities, student organizations and campus service providers have consistently argued for some mechanism to ensure that student experience is supported through the provision of services, programmed and activities. All of this gives students the chance to get involved and make friends, learn new skills, participate in student theater, and many, many other activities to make going to University a memorable and lasting experience. usu offers Advocacy and Legal Services to all students regardless of their location, and any group of students can affiliate a club. The University has allocated a proportion of SSA funds for programs, services and infrastructure at nonParkville campuses.
