Florida Statute 1009.23(12)(a) grants authority to Florida College System institutional board of trustees to establish laboratory fees. These fees “shall not exceed the cost of services provided and shall only be charged to persons receiving the service.” In order to comply with this legislation, Broward College created a specific institutional policy and procedure that governs the creation, review, and adjustment of laboratory fees. The review process includes an analysis of the actual paid enrollment for the course(s) and the actual allowable expenditures related to the course(s).
The proposed fee increases below are a result of the analysis of the actual paid enrollment and the actual annual expenditures for the courses. In many disciplines, expenditures are shared across multiple courses. The analysis of these expenditures includes a percentage allocation to the shared courses so that students are only obligated for the cost associated with their specific course. Fee increases typically occur for three reasons:
1. Enrollment fluctuations: The laboratory fee is based on actual paid student enrollment. Student enrollment has an inverse relationship with the laboratory fee. Therefore, if enrollment in a course decreases then the laboratory fee increases. The overall expenditures for the course may remain the same but, the per student cost is increased due to the decrease in enrollment.
2. Increases to the cost of expenditures: In situations where enrollment either stays flat or increases, the laboratory fee adjustment is the result of increases to the expenses related to that course. The college’s procurement process requires departments to obtain multiple bids and/or quotes, depending on the overall cost of the “goods or service.” Systems are in place to ensure that the procurement process is securing the expenditures at an affordable cost to the student.
3. Revisions to curriculum and courses: If a course is no longer offered at the college or the curriculum changes, these changes impact the percentage allocation of courses that share expenditures. When the percentage allocation changes there is a direct impact on the laboratory fee for those courses.
All laboratory fees are used to purchase items and equipment that are specifically related to the student learning outcomes and objectives of the course. The fees are also used to support part-time personnel who work in the laboratories and support students enrolled in the courses.

College Policy 6Hx2.6.14 states that fees for advanced and professional, postsecondary vocational, college preparatory, postsecondary adult vocational, and institutional credit, such laboratory fees shall not exceed the cost of the services provided and shall only be charged to students or agencies receiving the services per F.S. 1009.23. College policy requires that every laboratory fee be reviewed at least once every five years.
Working with the appropriate academic departments and leadership, district Academic Affairs conducted a review of the laboratory fees associated with the courses listed below.
