(3) For 1994 enrolments the Student Association fee is a separately identified fee on the fee notice provided to each student.
(4) The Institute does not record Student Association fee revenue on a per campus
basis. However the funds collected are divided by CITSA according to the
Institute's estimate of student enrolment on Bruce Campus, Southside
Campuses, and Northside Campuses. In 1993 this resulted in the division of
student fees as Bruce Campus 28%, Southside Campuses 34%, and Northside
Campuses 38%. The Student Association's audited financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 1993 advise a total fee revenue of $344,180.
(5) The Student Association is an incorporated organisation managing its own affairs. It provides a wide stray of services to students including: welfare, activities, student loans, representation and advocacy, canteens (on all six campuses), and bookshops and stationery outlets. _
(6) An estimate has not been made of the CIT cost of collecting the Student Association fee. The collection of the Association fee does not require any additional procedure from the collection of course fees so the Institute believes the collection cost to be minimal.
The Institute considers that the Association provides valuable student services assisting student well being that would be funded by the ACT tax payer in the absence of student contributions. Since the Institute considers that the Association's role is to be encouraged it has chosen not to charge a collection fee.
