Base tuition is determined at the state and university level. Subject to approval by the University and Board of Regents, schools may charge course fees (previously called differential tuition) and all funds from those fees directly benefit the students in the respective school. In 2004, the students of the School of Business approved the addition of course fees to enhance the quality of a KU business education.

Consistent with guidelines in the course fee approval process, course fees:

Pay for faculty,
Provide experiential learning activities,
Improve student advising and career services,
Provide student assistantships and scholarships.
