Fee Schedule

FEE SCHEDULE

The Graduate Student Society at Simon Fraser University (GSS) collects the GSS Membership Fees and Dedicated Fees (collectively, Graduate Student Activity Fee) and the Graduate Health and Dental Plan Fees. Dedicated Fee Groups at SFU are the student-led non-profit societies on campus which rely on the GSS and SFSS to collect their fees. These fees come to the GSS and then are remitted directly to the respective organizations. These fees were passed by a referendum of GSS members in 2007. A referendum was conducted in Spring 2020 adjusting the SFPIRG and WUSC fees.
