Commerce Cost per point and Student Services Fees

J Tamu made this Official Information request to Victoria University of Wellington

The request was successful.

From: J Tamu

Kia ora,

Under the Official Information Act 1982, I request the following information:

1. The factors determining the current cost of $64.16 per point for an undergraduate commerce paper, and a breakdown of associated overheads as a percentage of the total cost, provided in Excel format if possible.

2. The reasoning behind the recent increase in student services fees for 2025, including all relevant documentation, reports, meeting minutes, or decisions that explain the justification for this increase.

3. Has there been any consultation with students regarding the increase in student services fees? If so, which student organisations do they represent, what feedback was received, and how was it incorporated into the decision-making process?

Thank you,
J Tamu
