University of Minnesota students who are taking most of their classes online this fall may still have to pay a fee for campus services, even if they are not physically present to use them. The Board of Regents on Thursday updated the school’s policy on student services fees — which cost Twin Cities students about $450 per semester — to count online classes that would traditionally be held in person toward the six-credit threshold that triggers the fee. The previous policy assessed the fee only to students taking six credit hours of in-person instruction or more.
