The following Ferris State University fees are refundable each semester and ONLY during the first week of classes at the locations listed below. Remember refunding the fee will result in a loss of the benefits listed below:

• Student Activity Fee, $20.00 – at the Student Service Center w/ID
  This fee pays for the majority of campus entertainers and speakers, including past performers such as Chevelle, Phil Vassar, Ted Nugent, Nickelback, January Jams, Autumn Alive, Homecoming shows, and Ferris Fest.  This money helps Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) attend conferences off campus and helps Club Sport organizations with their travel expenses and equipment.  If you have this fee refunded, you will not receive the student discount price for tickets or granted funding for your RSO or Club Sport trips or equipment.
  
  

• Student Government Fee, $1.00 – at the Student Service Center w/ID
  Provides scholarships, legal services, and FREE newspapers--NY Times, USA Today, Detroit Free Press--throughout campus; sponsors the BIG Event (community service program), Pancakes with the President, WILL Conference, food drives, and United Way; co-sponsors Ferris Fest, Reasons for the Season, Vagina Monologues, and supports RSOs with funding.
  
  
• Health Center Fee, $47.00 – at the Health Center or by sending letter
  Provides services of two physicians, four nurses, a pharmacist and staff.  It is usually wise not to ask for the fee back unless: (a) you are planning not to get sick, or (b) you have a local physician.  The student who gets his/her fee refunded is very welcome to still use the Health Center; however, it will cost the fee equivalent of $47.00 on the first TWO occasions per illness plus the cost of the office visits during that semester.
  This fee may be waived by sending a letter of request by the 5th day of classes to:
  
  Ferris State University
  Birkam Health Center
  1019 Campus Drive
  Big Rapids, MI 49307
  
  
• Racquet Facility Fee, $13.00 – at the Racquet and Fitness Facility w/ID
  This facility has indoor and outdoor tennis courts, racquetball courts, aerobic rooms, fitness machines, saunas, tanning (for $3.50 per session) and free parking.  If you have this fee refunded, you will need to pay $5 for each workout visit, $18 per hour for court time and $4 per tanning session.
  
  

The above fees will be DELETED from the student's account. Cash refunds will only be granted by refund check, direct deposit, or a refund to the paying credit card for the fees if the student's account balance is PAID IN FULL.
