This presentation provides you with information regarding the UHWO student fees.
The University of Hawai’i-West O’ahu have undergone changes in locations from the beginning of when the university first opened its doors. The UHWO campus temporarily was located at these locations with the hope of one day having a permanent location of its own. Note also the growing size of the student population. We see that there is a need for access to higher education for the citizens of the West O’ahu communities.
Currently, with the opening of the permanent location in Kapolei, the University of Hawai’i-West O’ahu is finally home (no more moving or occupying the spaces of other entities/campuses). From the previous slide, we see a big jump in numbers with the move to its permanent location. Amongst the UH campuses across the system, UHWO is one of two campuses (also WindwardCC) to show an increase in enrollment for the Spring 2014 semester. The UHWO will continue to seeing a growing trend of increasing enrollment numbers in the years to come as UHWO continues to grow and develop.
As the campus change, increase and involve; programs, services and activities are needed to support the mission and vision of the campus. Prior to 2013, the student fees remained at $10/year. As noted on this slide as other institutions very similar to UHWO is listed. The institutions included in the peer groups were developed by NCHEMS Information Services or jointly by the UH system and campus analysts. NCHEMS and UH analysts use an indicator data base containing variables covering institutional characteristics, faculty, finance, degrees awarded, enrollments, and other data. There is also professional judgment involved in this selection process.The UHWO is taking the next step in being able to be just as great or even greater than its peer institutions. There is a need to raise student fees.
The 1st Senate of the Associated Students of the University of Hawai’i-West O’ahu took on the leadership to research, investigate the student fees; conduct public hearings for students to provide input, and present their proposal and findings to the UH Board of Regents. The Student Fee proposal was passed in March 2013 and implemented in Fall 2013. The goal is to provide a robust student life at UHWO and create more opportunities for student involvement and development of leadership skills.
UH Board of Regents develops policies and procedures to guide all UH campuses. Chapter 7 talks about Student Affairs.
Chapter 7 policies stresses the importance of co-curricular activities and the role it plays with supporting and complementing the academic curriculum (your classes). Learning exists beyond four walls of classroom in social gatherings, organized groups, etc.
UHWO have both Chartered Student Organizations and Registered Independent Organizations. For this presentation, an examination of the Chartered Student Organizations is addressed. For more information on the RISOs, please contact Rouel Velasco, Student Life Coordinator, rouel@hawaii.edu.
The next 2 slides will address the approved student fees.
ASUHWO has been in existence prior to the move to the permanent location in Kapolei. ASUHWO has done its best to enrich the student life experience by planning events for students. After the passage of the student fee at the Board of Regents, the ASUHWO primary function is on advocacy - to foster student input, voice, and advocacy of student needs, interests, and concerns through purposeful participation in institutional governance and decision-making.The three newest Chartered Student Organizations are SAFB, SMB, and CCB.The role of the SAFB is to foster a vibrant student life, promote enriching educational experiences for students through programs, services and activities. Also, to provide funding to student groups for planned events.The function of SMB is to support and govern student publications including related student advertising sales, affording students to write, edit, design, manage, do art, sell ads, etc to inform, educate, and/or entertain the campus community. At the present moment, The Hoot, the school’s newspaper have produced monthly newspapers.Lastly, CCB’s role is to support student-governed, student-serviced, and student–operated facilities, programs, and services and activities that serve as the “living room, hearthstone, or community center” for campus community members, offering them conveniences and amenities while creating a focal point or gathering place where cultural, educational, social, recreational leisure, and personal wellness needs may be met. To support desired operations of service and programs within campus center.If you wish to get involved with any of the Chartered Student Organizations (CSOs), please feel free to contact Rouel Velasco, Student Life Coordinator, rouel@hawaii.edu.
