Westcliff is charging a tech fee for $150

I see that Westcliff is charging a tech fee of $150. Why does the school charge those fees??

Yeah, a lot of schools add tech or admin fees on top of tuition. That $150 at Westcliff usually covers stuff like learning platforms , student portals, and IT support — even if you don’t really use much of it :sweat_smile:

Don’t feel like it is worth it… They are saying I do not need to buy text book anymore from the next semester. So…

The textbook platform got updated and there’s no longer textbook to buy, the tech fee include that part

I understand why schools need to cover these costs, but I wonder why schools don’t just include these fees as part of the tuition, it makes evaluating how much we actually have to pay as students a lot more complicated.
