(1) The Base Fee and the Workload Fee shall be assessed at one of six levels based upon the Florida student enrollment (per license issued) for the last reported fiscal year ending on June 30th. For each licensed institution, Florida student enrollment consists of all students enrolled at a Florida campus of a licensed institution and for distance education, a student whose mailing address for purposes of receiving distance education lessons and materials from the school, is a Florida address. If an institution that holds a license has not submitted enrollment data to the Commission (using the CIE Annual Data Collection) they shall be assessed at the highest level.
(a) Level 1 = 0 to 100 students
(b) Level 2 = 101-500 students
(c) Level 3 = 501-1,000 students
(d) Level 4 = 1,001 to 5,000 students
(e) Level 5 = 5,001 to 10,000 students
(f) Level 6 = over 10,000 students
If the total revenue collected by the Commission during a fiscal year is 12% or greater than the Commission’s budgeted expenditures for the same fiscal year, the Commission is authorized to reduce the Base Fee and Workload Fee up to 3%. If the total revenue collected by the Commission during a fiscal year is less than the Commission’s budgeted expenditures for the same fiscal year, the Commission is authorized to increase the Base Fee and Workload Fee up to 3%.
(2) Base Fee. All nonpublic institutions and centers of out-of-state institutions under the jurisdiction of the Commission derive benefit from the services performed by the Commission. Such services include but are not limited to administration of the fair consumer practices program and the data collection and dissemination program. To defray the cost of such general services, each institution holding a provisional or annual license, or a license by means of accreditation, with an enrollment at Level 1 shall pay $500, enrollment at Level 2 shall pay $1,000, enrollment at Level 3 shall pay $2,000, enrollment at Level 4 shall pay $3,000, enrollment at Level 5 shall pay $4,000 and enrollment at Level 6 shall pay $5,000. Enrollment shall be determined by the institution’s data submission to the CIE Annual Data Collection during the previous fiscal year or for a new institution, by its anticipated enrollment in Florida during its first year of operation. The Base Fee shall be due and collected at the time of application for provisional licensure, annual review of licensure, or the annual Licensure by Means of Accreditation review.
(3) Workload Fees. Each licensed institution receives technical assistance from the Commission, along with help in developing and implementing institutional articulation agreements and achieving candidacy status with accrediting agencies; and significant amounts of staff and administrative time are spent on evaluating applications, traveling to institutions for onsite visits, assisting institutions which are experiencing problems with financial aid or financial stability, and other duties assigned by the Commission. The following workload fees are assessed in addition to the Base Fee, and must be received prior to Commission consideration of each action.
