First you pay tuition. Then you pay more. Course fees cost UK students $21.8 million - LINDA BLACKFORD, Lexington Herald-Leader

Students start class at the University of Kentucky on Wednesday, and for parents, that means money. Money for tuition, housing, food and books. But when many look at their bills closely, they might find that tuition isn’t the only charge for classes. At UK, about a third of classes have course fees. They may be small — $10 for a journalism class — or large — $2,000 for Engineering 394, a joint class with the MBA program. Course fees are not new, but they were historically imposed only on laboratory classes, where chemicals and equipment cost more. Now those fees are charged for agriculture classes, economics courses and nearly every class in the College of Engineering. http://www.kentucky.com/news/local/education/article168690117.html
