Services & Activities Fees

The Services and Activities fee is a fee assessed to students attending Lake Washington. The fee is included in tuition and almost all enrolled students pay this fee. The total projected budget developed from this fee is managed by the Office of Student Life department and the Associated Student Government.

Many students do not know that they pay the Services and Activity fee, or S/A fee. This fee is used by the Associated Student Government to fund student focused support systems, within the college.

How Fees Are Set

Annually, the ASG Budget Committee establishes a student majority committee to determine how those fees should be distributed back to the student population. The ASG Budget Committee engages in several processes to ensure the student opinion is represented. To learn more about the annual budget, visit the Associated Student Government office or email the ASG Finance Officer. 

The fees are assessed through quarterly tuition. Annually, the ASG Executive Board calls for budget requests. The ASG Budget Committee then works to disseminate funds throughout the college. These funds provide: student jobs, campus activities, support of student communities, programs, and other amenities throughout campus.
