Current Fees Charging Practices and Perceptions in College and University Counseling Centers.
Hurst, James C.; And Others
A questionnaire designed to assess the practice of charging special fees for counseling, testing, and outreach programs as well as the perceptions of counseling center directors on the fee issue was sent to 281 Directors of college and university counseling centers. Two hundred and twenty-five (80%) were returned. The results indicated that approximately one-third of the agencies received partial funding from student fees. Only three percent receive compensation from student or faculty insurance programs. Charging fees for counseling services to students is a practice of only four percent of the respondents, a proportion which has remained stable over the past ten years. In contrast, the proportion of agencies which charge fees for testing have increased from 11 to 34% over the 10 year period. Although 81% of all respondents were against charging fees for services, only 51% indicated that the fee issue was discussed on their campus within the past year. (Author)
