Phase 2, Part 2/3: Course Budget, Faculty Led Travel Course

Budget Creation: Student Travel Fee

When enrolling in a FLTC, students are charged Simmons standard course tuition to receive academic credit. Additionally, students are charged a Travel Fee. The cost of this fee is determined by the budget set by faculty for the travel experience. All FLTC budgets are built around 10 student participants.
The Travel Fee is determined by four areas of expense:
1. Individual student participation
2. Group arrangements, to be divided evenly by 10 students
3. Faculty participation, to be divided evenly by 10 students
4. Insurance and Administative Fee
